Projects and Initiatives

              It’s a big world, and there’s a lot going on out there. 

  The National Geographic Society supports hundreds of research, exploration, and conservation projects in every part of the globe every year—and we have for decades
               
         To add to the impact our support can have, we also call out a few specific areas and projects that help focus attention, make new discoveries, and bring timely protection to endangered animals, cultures, and ecosystems. 

Explore our current portfolio of initiatives, and get the latest updates from them below.

About Pristine Seas

The ocean—covering over 70 percent of the planet—sustains all life on Earth. It supplies more than half the oxygen we breathe and regulates the Earth’s climate. Its fisheries provide employment for 180 million people and food for billions worldwide, and it offers opportunities for recreation, education, and tourism.
National Geographic and Explorer-in-Residence Dr. Enric Sala launched the Pristine Seas project to find, survey, and help protect the last wild places in the ocean.
