Dear Supporter,


World Environment Day on 5th June this year concentrates on the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. On this theme, find out how you can travel overland to two of our Scottish projects in Research Focus.

 

The holiday season is a time when many of us choose the coast as our summer destination. It is home to an astounding array of species, from marine mammals to seabirds. Our Take Action tips may give you food for thought as you plan your getaway.

 

And finally, don’t miss the chance to win an Earthwatch T-shirt by getting your friends to sign up to our eNewsletter - see Latest News for more details.
