Animal Geography Specialty Group
About the Animal Geography Specialty Group

The Animal Geography Specialty Group (AnGSG) strives to enhance geographic research and scholarship on matters relating to human-animal studies by:

(a) encouraging the exchange of ideas among geographers studying biological, cultural, ecological, economic, political, and technical aspects of the myriad ways humans co-exist with other animal species;

(b) promoting research in these areas; and

(c) facilitating collaboration between existing AAG specialty groups and committees to promote common interests and develop intra-disciplinary and interdisciplinary projects. 

The overall aim of AnGSG is to support discussion of human-animal issues by geographers as a legitimate and active part of the discipline.
