National Geographic in 2009

In the coming year, National Geographic will support hundreds of projects to help us explore, understand, and care for our planet. WildlifeDirect continues to increase awareness on the perils of the world’s great apes. Emerging Explorer Martin Wikelski leads the field in small-animal migration. The Genographic Legacy Fund assists community-driven projects preserving or revitalizing traditional cultures. By supporting innovative projects such as these, National Geographic upholds its 120-year legacy of exploration, education, and conservation.
