Thanks to geo-blogger Catholicgauze for mentioning the fascinating Give Geography its Place campaign, a UK-based grassroots effort to raise the profile of geography as an academic subject. It's a great campaign so be sure to check it out! Plus, Catholicgauze has suggestions for improving geographic education.

As one of the founders of the campaign (David Raynor is the other and runs the website) I would really like to encourage you to sign up – it does not matter where you are from.

As you probably know, geography is vital for young people to understand some of the most vital issues of the day, we need to get the media to work with and using geography…

Geography as with geology – these subjects obscured, the media dare not speak their name!!! Over the past few years I too have been on a mission to declare and proclaim – remove the veil, unearth the ‘secret’ deploying UGAAP Geothrillogy.
I applaud you and sign up to this much needed initiative – from local to global scale we all, each need to be better attuned to our environmental responsibilities as well as opportunities.
