Underwrite Earthwatch's Global Research Programme

For over 35 years Earthwatch's Global Research Programme has been increasing our understanding of key environmental issues, providing the scientific basis for conservation action and policy by governments, industry and local communities.

Today, Earthwatch supports around 120 research projects in over 50 countries round the world. Corporate partnerships present an opportunity to expand our research programme and investigate new areas of business and biodiversity research. Companies can help Earthwatch increase public understanding of key environmental issues by funding research within one of our four Research Areas (RAs) - Oceans, Climate Change, Sustainable Resource Management, Sustainable Communities.
