Earthwatch Institute

Dear Earthwatcher,

This month we turn the spotlight on the threats to River Dolphins in the Peruvian Amazon, and the significant value of scientific research in conserving vulnerable species and protecting threatened habitats.

We also invite you to check out our hot-off-the-press 2009 Annual Report, which highlights some of our achievements and progress against our measures of success. Thank you for your support in helping Earthwatch continue to do what we do - we couldn't do it without you.

Warm regards,

Ed Wilson,
President and CEO
