AAG Atlas Award

The Atlas Award is designed to recognize and celebrate outstanding accomplishments that advance world understanding in exceptional ways. The image of Atlas bearing the weight of the world on his shoulders is a powerful metaphor for this award program, as our nominees are those who have taken the weight of the world on their shoulders and moved it forward, whether in science, politics, scholarship, the arts, or in war and peace. 


Jane Goodall was presented with the inaugural AAG Atlas Award during the Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C.

The award recognizes outstanding accomplishments that advance world understanding.
