Interesting data, but I don’t think it is beautifully presented. Bar charts, or maybe a blown up pie charts may be easier to grasp the scale.
Blobs of the largely same color, dispersed in a random pattern make it hard to quickly see scale

The beautiful presentation was chosen to underline a message.
which would have been a lot more clear in a bar chart
It's like yesterdays post https://lemmy.ml/post/2352771 with a map of the US. The circle could represent earth.
This one wasn’t very good either.
This is good, but presenting the blobs as such different shapes makes it harder to get a sense of relative size. (Obviously some of the differences are huge enough it doesn't matter, but comparing humans and cattle say.)
And which blob is chickens? I guess chickens are so much smaller and lighter than other domestic animals they don't show very big here.
