Earthwatch is an international environmental charity that supports scientific field research around the world and inspires people to get involved with hands-on conservation. There are around 130 Earthwatch projects in 55 countries, gathering critical information about the planet's endangered species, threatened habitats and vulnerable ecosystems. These projects help to inform management plans, provide the evidence needed to assist conservation efforts, and leave a legacy of knowledge and skills within local communities. 

Through Earthwatch, ordinary people can become directly involved in protecting the planet's biodiversity by working as volunteers alongside leading scientists, many of them working within their own communities. Whether our volunteers are monitoring climate change in Ecuador's rainforests, helping the community in Kenya to protect endangered black rhinos, studying dolphins off the coast of Scotland or reducing turtle egg poaching in Costa Rica, their valuable contribution helps to further our understanding and improve our stewardship of the natural world.
