The National Geographic Society (NGS ), whose headquarters are located in Washington, DC in United States, is one of the largest non-profit scientific and educational institutions.

His interests include a variety of disciplines such as geography, archeology and natural sciences, but also care for the environment and conservation of historical heritage, and finally studio della cultura del mondo e della sua storia.

Il suo stesso presidente e direttore generale - CEO (chief executive officer) - dal marzo 1998, John M. Fahey, Jr. , afferma che lo scopo della NGS è quello di portare le persone a prendersi cura del proprio pianeta. La società è gestita da ventitré membri del consiglio degli amministratori fiduciari costituito da un gruppo di esimi educatori, uomini d'affari, importanti funzionari governativi, e conservazionisti. L'organizzazione sponsorizza e promuove l'esplorazione e la ricerca scientifica. La società pubblica inoltre una rivista, chiamata National Geographic Magazine e altre riviste, libri, pubblicazioni scolastiche, mappe, filmati e inserti web in numerose lingue e paesi di tutto il mondo. La NGS ha un fondamento educativo attraverso il quale dona concessioni alle organizzazioni a fine didattico con lo scopo di valorizzare l'educazione geografica.

Lo stesso Comitato per la Riscerca e l'Esplorazione ha offerto concessioni for scientific research, and recently gave his nine thousandth donation and the various properties include a range of 360 million people per month worldwide.
