This continent’s lush rainforest, grasslands, and mountains are under siege.

South America increasingly exports its primary productivity in return for massive deforestation, erosion, and desertification. Earthwatch projects empower rural communities, conserve land resources, and preserve the web of life. Join one of our projects on this beautiful continent for the experience of a lifetime and to help us find solutions to some of the environmental issues facing this land before it is too late.
