Today (April 20, 2026), in collaboration with the National Geographic Society, National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions released the 2025/2026 Traveler Impact Report, highlighting a record-breaking year of global impact made possible by the Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic Fund (LEX-NG Fund).
In 2025, through the support from traveler contributions, the LEX-NG Fund invested $3.03 million across 36 conservation, science, education, and storytelling projects worldwide, marking the largest single-year investment in its history, and has now contributed more than $26.4 million since 2008 to support projects in the regions the fleet explores.
“This year’s results show what can happen when travel is rooted in purpose,” said Natalya Leahy, CEO of Lindblad Expeditions.
