More about Earthwatch

For nearly 40 years, Earthwatch has worked to conserve our shared environment. To do this, we fund scientific field research and enable people just like you to volunteer on real projects in 30 countries around the world. By getting involved in a hands-on way, volunteers leave the field not just knowledgeable, but also armed with a first-hand understanding of how they can directly improve the health of the Earth.

Despite all the doom and gloom, there are ways you can take action on big challenges like climate change, ocean health, endangered species and resources, and threatened cultures. Whether you start or join a group to stay connected to other volunteers, are thinking about joining us in the field, or are just looking for more information on how you can get involved, you’ve come to the right place.

Join the movement. After all, it’s your participation that really makes the difference.
