Science, exploration, education and storytelling are the cornerstones of the National Geographic Society’s work to illuminate and protect the wonder of our world. To support the explorers who are transforming their fields and our understanding of the world, the Society has chosen a global cohort of gifted changemakers as the latest class of Emerging Explorers.

In a dynamic online event, you’ll get the chance to meet these inspiring explorers and learn more about their groundbreaking work. Hear about the weird and wonderful animals that live in deep-sea habitats, the social implications of artificial intelligence, rural and urban rainwater harvesting, protecting Congolese biodiversity, grassroots microentrepreneurship, and more.
