# Display a web map using an alternate projection
This example uses the `Map`'s [`projection`](https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/guides/projections/) parameter to display the map using the Natural Earth (`'naturalEarth'`) [projection](https://docs.mapbox.com/help/glossary/projection/).
> Example code:
**JavaScript**
```html
Display a web map using an alternate projection
```
**React**
```jsx
import React, { useEffect, useRef } from 'react';
import * as mapboxgl from 'mapbox-gl/esm';
import 'mapbox-gl/dist/mapbox-gl.css';
const MapboxExample = () => {
const mapContainerRef = useRef();
const mapRef = useRef();
useEffect(() => {
mapRef.current = new mapboxgl.Map({
// TO MAKE THE MAP APPEAR YOU MUST
// ADD YOUR ACCESS TOKEN FROM
// https://account.mapbox.com
accessToken: 'YOUR_MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN',
container: mapContainerRef.current,
style: 'mapbox://styles/mapbox/standard',
center: [0, 0],
zoom: 0.4,
projection: 'naturalEarth'
});
return () => {
mapRef.current.remove();
};
}, []);
return ;
};
export default MapboxExample;
```
