Geography is more
than places on a map. It's global connections and incredible creatures.
It's people and cultures, economics and politics. And it's essential to
understanding our interconnected world. But sadly, our kids aren't getting
enough of it. A new National Geographic-Roper survey shows half of
young Americans can't locate world powers like Japan or India on a map.
Twenty percent can't even find the Pacific Ocean. Without geography, our children aren't ready for the world. That's why the NYGA supports My Wonderful World. It's a National Geographic-led campaign—backed by a coalition of major national partners—to expand geographic learning in school, at home, and in the community. We want to give our kids the power of global knowledge. Many of our outreach
activities in New York will promote My Wonderful World. Click
