Back on January 13th, 1888, the National Geographic Society was founded "to increase and diffuse geographic knowledge." Over the years, the Society has grown and evolved, but its mission remains the same: to inspire people to care about the planet and to educate them about its many wonders.

One of the ways the National Geographic Society accomplishes its mission is through its magazine, National Geographic. The magazine, which is published in multiple languages and distributed worldwide, is one of the most popular and well-respected publications of its kind.
