Investing in Our Collective Future

 

A Message from Our CEO, Gitte Venicx

This is a defining moment for our planet— a time to defend what's irreplaceable. As environmental protections are dismantled and government support wanes, our work is as vital today as ever.

Our commitment remains steadfast. Earthwatch continues doing what we do best: funding science and mobilizing volunteers to take action. Our global research expeditions support climate action and protect biodiversity in areas where it is most needed.

With the future of our planet at stake, our community has taken a stand to protect it—and we are grateful to each of you who has joined us in this effort.

As an Earthwatch supporter, you have the power to make a meaningful impact. When you join an expedition, you're on the ground, supporting science and conservation where it matters most.

Sponsoring initiatives like Girls in Science and Teach Earth creates opportunities for young people and educators to reconnect with nature, building a stronger generation of environmental stewards.

Our resolve is unwavering, bolstered by the dedication of volunteers and supporters like you. More than ever, your contributions are essential to ensure critical scientific work continues.

Whether you join an expedition or make a donation, you are investing in our collective future. Thank you. Together, we will continue to meet adversity with determination and action.

 

Warmly,

Gitte Venicx

YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS

Earthwatch depends on donations—above and beyond what we raise from volunteers who participate in our expeditions—to deliver our global conservation mission. In fact, volunteer contributions provide only half of the total resources Earthwatch needs to sustain over 20 global field research expeditions, a wide variety of educational programs, corporate sustainability trainings, and more each year.
