Population Density (EPI - 2018)

Source: Map created by EPI (Elephant Protection Initiative) with data from CIESIN, Columbia University, USA. The map is published on UNEP's South Sudan: First State of Environment and Outlook Report 2018, using data from WCS. The UNEP's report could be found <a href=" https://www.unenvironment.org/resources/report/south-sudan-first-state-environment-and-outlook-report-2018" target=_blank> here </a> <br><br> The map shows the population distribution in South Sudan. Jonglei is the most populous area, with 16 per cent of the total population, and Western Bahr el Ghazal is the least populous area with only 4 per cent of the total. The highest population densities are along the Nile River and their tributaries.

Supplemental Information

You can customize the template to suit your needs. You can add

and remove fields and fill out default information (e.g. contact details).

Fields you can not change in the default view may be accessible in the more

comprehensive (and more complex) advanced view. You can even use the XML editor

to create custom structures, but they have to be validated by the system, so

know what you do :-)
