Earthwatch Institute Australia

Earthwatch is an international environmental charity. We are a behaviour change organisation, empowering people to save the natural world, through work, life and play. Earthwatch engages people worldwide in scientific field research and education to promote the understanding and action necessary to achieve a society that lives in balance with nature. Through hands-on field work in the environmental issues that matter, we: - upskill business in environmental impacts, dependencies, risks, and opportunities. - train teachers and educate young people so they bring their experiences back to the classroom to foster new generations of environmental leaders - build bridges between science and the community, increasing environmental and scientific literacy within civil society. We work from offices around the world including the United States, United Kingdom, India, Japan, and Australia. Together with leading scientists, we create impactful field research experiences that facilitate and disseminate world-class scientific research. Our projects take place in more than forty countries around the globe. We work with businesses and corporations. We enable them to implement sustainable policies, processes, and practices that promote environmental responsibility both in and out of the office. We work to sustain wildlife populations and to improve the quality and quantity of habitats and ecosystems. We work to preserve our cultural heritage and improve livelihoods worldwide. We measure our success through long-term behaviour change, and through tangible and significant contributions to conventions, agendas, management plans, development plans, and government policies. We do this regionally, nationally, and internationally.
