Organization

Earthwatch inspires connections between people and the environment. Its multi-tiered program involves a global community of researchers, conservation volunteers, educators, students, NGOs and businesses, working together towards a sustainable planet. Through its expeditions, Earthwatch engages individuals in hands-on data collection alongside leading scientists, where they actively participate in research that contributes to the understanding of environmental challenges. The program supports about 60 projects across nearly 40 countries, and celebrates its 40th anniversary this year.
