An "Explorer-in-Residence" is a title often given to individuals who are recognized for their significant contributions to exploration, science, or conservation. These explorers typically work with organizations like the National Geographic Society to inspire the public and promote awareness about important environmental and cultural issues. Their role often includes conducting research, leading expeditions, and sharing their findings through various media. In addition to fieldwork, Explorers-in-Residence engage with communities, schools, and the media to educate others about their experiences and the importance of preserving our planet. They may also collaborate with scientists, conservationists, and educators to develop programs that encourage exploration and stewardship of the natural world.
