Earthwatch

Earthwatch Institute is an international organization that supports scientific field research by offering members of the public unique opportunities to work alongside leading field scientists and researchers. Earthwatch works to engage people worldwide in scientific field research and education to promote the understanding and action necessary for a sustainable environment. We believe that decision-making involving these issues not only requires objective scientific data from the field, but must engage the general public through active participation in the scientific process if it is to become widely accepted and effective. We have a commitment to education offering 300 expedition fellowships to teachers and students every year.
