Earthwatch

Earthwatch connects people with scientists worldwide to conduct environmental research and empowers them with the knowledge they need to conserve the planet.

Since its founding in 1971, Earthwatch has been taking action to address global change through a time-tested model of citizen science and community engagement. By pairing citizen science volunteers from all sectors of society with researchers around the world, Earthwatch teams have helped to safeguard critical habitats, conserve biodiversity, and promote the sustainable use of natural resources. Our focus areas include:

ENGAGING WITH PEOPLE AND COMMUNITIES

支持科学研究

We currently support more than 40 research projects globally that produce rigorous, relevant, and impactful science, address global change, and actively involve citizen-scientist participants.

PROMOTING EDUCATION

We’re committed to helping educators and students discover and protect our environment through transformational learning experiences that promote environmentally sustainable action.

PARTNERSHIPS FOR A SUSTAINABLE PLANET

We work with a wide variety of partners, including corporations, foundations, nonprofit organizations, and educational institutions to implement sustainable policies, processes, and practices that promote environmental responsibility both in and out of the office.
