"The [PROJ](https://proj.org) library is a cornerstone of FOSS4G, implementing a large number of cartographic projections and most geodetic datums. The list of [cartographic projections implemented by PROJ](https://proj.org/operations/projections/index.html) is a good place to start exploring the different characteristics of each projection. [pyproj](https://pyproj4.github.io/pyproj/stable/) is the native Python interface to PROJ.\n",
