Earthwatch works hard to fulfil its mission through a variety of programmes and activities. Every day Earthwatch is:

Supporting Field Research

Funding field research projects all over the world and communicating with scientists about proposed research projects, findings and research results.

"Earthwatch is one of the few global environmental organisations that makes supporting research its key priority."

Individuals join an expedition in the field that interests them, contributing both funds and hands-on support to the scientists conducting research.

"Earthwatch volunteers have a unique opportunity to make a positive impact on wildlife, habitats, and local communities around the world for many years to come."

Kate Humble, Television Presenter and dedicated Earthwatcher.
