Dear Earthwatcher,
Seasons greetings from Earthwatch Australia.
As the year draws to a close, I would like to thank each and everyone of you who has supported us throughout 2008.
For those celebrating the festive season and looking for a meaningful gift idea, see below's Take Action section for some stocking-filler inspiration.
And although 2008 will soon be over, new discoveries and data collection are ongoing at Earthwatch so make sure you continue to follow our successes into the new year. Until the next edition, stay safe and happy holidays!
Best wishes,
Kayla Larson, Editor
