In December, we’re exploring the Atlas to revisit some of its most joyful corners — from app to zen, we’ll celebrate the happiest moments of the year past as we wait for those yet to come.

2021 has been an extremely exciting time to map the future of our home planet. From the clothes we earthlings wear to the water we drink, we’ve been looking into the potential of life on Earth to become otherworldly. In our July Nature Talks series we met the talent at work to fix our relationship with nature and in November, we travelled to COP26 and started a whole new channel for climate justice champions.

But some projects proved to be real crowd pleasers. As we bid farewell to the old year and wish you happy holidays, here's a recap of the most viewed projects of 2021. See you in January!
