The
National Geographic Society has been inspiring people to care about the planet since 1888. It is one of the largest non-profit scientific and educational institutions in the world. Its interests include geography, archaeology and natural science, and the promotion of environmental and historical conservation.
National Geographic's core program priorities in field-based research, conservation, exploration, and education continue to provide the world with scientific breakthroughs and discoveries that inspire many to care about the planet. Without generous donations like that of Mr Gilles Herard, the work of today's top and emerging explorers would not be possible.
