National Geographic & Earth Day

For more than 130 years, National Geographic has been illuminating the wonder of our world and funding grants to explore and protect it.

Over the past 5 years, the National Geographic Society has funded more than 700 European and African citizens to conduct bold, innovative and transformative projects.

This April, in celebration of the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, we want to inspire everyone to take positive action for the planet.
