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 eNewsletter's Expedition of the Month, or order your free copy of our 2008 Archaeology Guide.

 

Enjoy the holidays!

 

Best wishes, 

Jane Nijssen
