July 2008 eNewsletter

Earthwatch Newsletter

Dear Earthwatcher,

This month we have some exciting news to report. Our scientists in South Africa have developed ground-breaking technology which will greatly assist the monitoring of large numbers of endangered animals.

Also this month, look out for SustainaBall – our first ever fundraising ball with some great prizes up for auction. Tickets are selling fast so don’t delay if you want to ensure a place!

Last but not least, July marks National Archaeology Week (12-20 July), so why not discover your inner Indiana Jones by joining one of our archaeology or palaeontology projects? Visit our website to find out more, see our e-newsletter's Expedition of the Month, or order your free copy of our 2008 Archaeology Guide.

Enjoy the holidays!

Best wishes,

Jane Nijssen
