Earthwatch empowers people to save the planet by engaging them with the critical environmental issues we face: the impacts of climate change, the declining health of our rivers and oceans and the loss of wildlife. Over the last five years, more than 10,000 people have worked with us on freshwater, climate change, oceans and wildlife projects, creating scientific knowledge. We have supported and offered vital fieldwork opportunities to more than 2,000 scientists, as well as engaging with more than 1,400 students in the UK each year.
