CORRECTION May 22, 2015: The total number of projects that involved possible or confirmed displacement between 2004 and 2013 is 969 and not 972, as previously reported. ICIJ removed three projects listed as involving “possible displacement” because end-of-project documentation indicated that physical or economic displacement did not ultimately happen.
