Credentials in Geography demonstrate competencies including overall knowledge of physical world geography, ecosystems, demographic shifts, and the effects of policy on these disciplines. Though many of these positions require appropriate education at various levels, and additional training, a fundamental understanding of geography provides a foundation that supports many aspects of daily tasks and decision-making. Specifically, this badge demonstrates the earner's ability to describe the geography of Australia and New Zealand, including issues related to their ecosystems and to the effects of colonialism, globalization, and policies related to indigenous people and immigration.
