The Animal Geography Specialty Group (AnGSG) strives to enhance geographic research and scholarship on the relationships between humans and non-humans by:
- 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 non-human species;
- Promoting research in these areas; and
- 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/non-human issues by geographers as a legitimate and active part of the discipline.
