“For 138 years, National Geographic has been guided by a spirit of exploration that opens hearts as much as it expands minds,” said Courteney Monroe, President of National Geographic. “With ‘Step Into Wonder,’ we’re putting that spirit at the center of Disney’s Earth Month, creating a platform for stories that spark a love for our planet and inspire families to step outside and celebrate the everyday wonders of our world.”
