𝘔𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘢 𝘝𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘻𝘶𝘦𝘭𝘢 ☁❅: Blog 6: How Can My Major/Career Make the World a Better Place

Hi everybody ☁ I hope you are all well ☁

There are many ways in which geography contributes to knowledge, societies and lifestyles, as it is a broadly educated career. We study all kinds of processes at various spatial and temporal scales in order to propose measures and solutions to problems.

In this sense, there are many specialties in various topics, some examples are migratory processes, natural disasters, environmental protection, economies of scale, cultural aspects, medical geography, etc., this last specialty has taken importance lately because of the pandemic.

Personally, I really like studying about the environment, so sometimes I do it in my free time. But it is not only about knowledge, I value the ways of working that I have learned, because I think it is appropriate to work interdisciplinary, to do the environmental protection management projects together with other professionals and valuing the local knowledge of communities that inhabit the place of study, since it is necessary to know its history, to know the ecosystem and the actors. Today the global warming is at critical levels, it is necessary to act to protect all the flora and fauna of the earth and avoid a severe economic crisis that could seriously affect the most vulnerable population.

I also think that when I have to work in management I will have to face difficulties associated with all kinds of volitions and interests, private, public, political... So I think I will have a challenging job in this sense as soon as I finish my studies. I hope that the constituent process will be a significant advance, even if it takes years.
