John Fahey Geographic Quotations

A sound knowledge of geography is essential for understanding global events and their impact on the rest of the world. National Geographic has always recognized the need for geographic literacy and will vigorously continue its efforts to educate our young people and empower them to be informed citizens and responsible stewards of our planet.

Geographic illiteracy impacts our economic well-being, our relationships with other nations and the environment, and isolates us from the world.
