# National Geographic Society ## About National Geographic Society has spent more than 130 years backing explorers and scientists who head out into the field to document the planet. They fund research trips, support photographers, and turn those findings into magazines, films, maps, and classroom materials that reach millions. The organization stays focused on science, wildlife, and conservation rather than chasing trends. People who work there often say the goal is simple: get the stories right and get them out to anyone who wants to learn. Over the decades they have backed expeditions that mapped ocean floors, tracked animal migrations, and studied climate patterns in remote regions. Their magazine still lands in mailboxes every month while the TV channel and website keep new audiences coming back. Schools use their lesson plans and photos because the material is accurate and easy to understand. Grants go to researchers who might not get money from bigger institutions. The society keeps a low corporate profile but the impact shows up in textbooks and documentaries worldwide. **Areas of Work:** Science Media, Documentary Production, Educational Publishing, Conservation Media ## Things to Remember - **Website:** https://nationalgeographic.org - **Address:** Washington, United States - **Contact:** - **Phone:** - **Hours:** - **Timezone:** - **Currency:** - **Company Typ
