For many decades National Geographic, with its first rate photographers and journalists, educated Americans, and awed them, revealing just how big was the world and how diverse the humanity it contained. Now its new editor wants to apologize for that:

I’m the tenth editor of National Geographic since its founding in 1888. I’m the first woman and the first Jewish person—a member of two groups that also once faced discrimination here. It hurts to share the appalling stories from the magazine’s past. But when we decided to devote our April magazine to the topic of race, we thought we should examine our own history before turning our reportorial gaze to others.
Race is not a biological construct...
The whole current issue is devoted to various race related PC-isms and grievances, including this feature which claims "There's no scientific basis for race - it's a made up label" and then, amusingly, goes on to provide a scientific explanation of how the current races developed through geographic isolation, substituting the word "populations" for "races".
If they want to apologize for how they portrayed black Americans that's one thing, but bush people are bush people. Of course you portray them as being primitive, because that what they are. I would expect that if they did a story about bush people today they would also portray them as being primitive, and if they didn't, they wouldn't be doing their jobs.

Your second link doesn't work. Here is the March Issue, migratory birds, lakes drying up, space, microbes and Syria. I don't see anything related to what you claim in your original link other than references to their history and self criticism for the way they portrayed aborigines, blacks and South Africa. If appears to be a separate NG publication.
For many years now, National Geographic has been a Far Left, Progressive rag. All Man Made Climate Change, and Progressive drivel, all the time. I haven't even considered picking one up at the Dentist's office in years.

Climate change is based on science, who better to acknowledge the impact than a group that has studied the environment for over a century. I don't recall them being leftist until they conflicted with those that don't believe that the climate is actually changing.

Flawed, political, BOUGHT, "science".

A leaked copy of the world’s most authoritative climate study reveals scientific forecasts of imminent doom were drastically wrong.
The Mail on Sunday has obtained the final draft of a report to be published later this month by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the ultimate watchdog whose massive, six-yearly ‘assessments’ are accepted by environmentalists, politicians and experts as the gospel of climate science. They are cited worldwide to justify swingeing fossil fuel taxes and subsidies for ‘renewable’ energy.
