National Geographic Wild

National Geographic Wild, often abbreviated as Nat Geo Wild, is a global television network that focuses on animal-themed programs, wildlife conservation, and natural history documentaries. The brand originated from the prestigious National Geographic Society, which has been exploring and documenting the world since 1888. The channel was first launched in Hong Kong in 2006 before expanding to the United Kingdom and eventually the United States in 2010.

While the content is produced by various production houses globally, the brand itself is managed under a massive corporate structure. Originally a joint venture between the National Geographic Society and 21st Century Fox, the ownership underwent a major shift in 2019.

Today, the brand is part of National Geographic Partners, a joint venture where the majority ownership is held by The Walt Disney Company. This partnership ensures that while the National Geographic Society continues its non-profit work in science and education, the commercial media assets are backed by Disney's global distribution network and resources.
