DOES EARTHWATCH HAVE A RESPONSIBLE TRAVEL OR ETHICAL TOURISM POLICY?
Many of our expeditions are based in remote communities, well away from the tourist track. Earthwatch recognises there may be social and cultural impacts from volunteers as foreign visitors to research project locations. Please read our Responsible Travel Policy. Earthwatch stresses the need for responsible behaviour and common courtesy in these communities. It is a good idea to do some background reading about the area you will visit. Please check your Expedition Briefing for specific information about local culture and customs.
