Earthwatch Newsletter

Dear Earthwatcher,

We've recently launched our new ClimateWatch program and now's your chance to get involved!

ClimateWatch is climate change monitoring program that allows you to be involved in observing and recording data that will help shape the country’s scientific response to climate change. Visit ClimateWatch online to see the plant and animals indicator species you can begin observing.

We've also been busy compiling some fabulous results from the field. To name a few, Earthwatchers have been spotting manta rays off Queensland's coast, uncovering the wherabouts of Sydney's native water rat and providing park managers in Africa with wildlife population numbers.

Without Earthwatch volunteers, these results would not be possible, so thank you for supporting our scientists and their research.

Best wishes,
Kayla Larson, Editor
