- - The Beagle Campaign is about the future of exploration and how the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) might best reach the goal of becoming the world leader of geographical discovery. We would like to see the Society become an inclusive home for all those working to further geographical science and knowledge. The vast wealth of discoveries yet to be made will, once explored, nurture a greater understanding of the planet and our interaction with it. Through geographical endeavour, we will work together to enrich the lives of future generations. (I’m one of 6 founders of the Campaign)
