WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT AN EARTHWATCH EXPEDITION?
The term “expedition” has different meanings to different people. In the Earthwatch context, an expedition is an opportunity to join a small team of volunteers who work together under the tutelage of well respected, expert scientists to carry out scientific field research of great importance. Earthwatch expeditions are not adventure travel tours, nor ecotourism holidays, nor simple volunteering placements. Earthwatch expeditions are genuine, immersive field research experiences for people who want to join others in doing something positive to help solve environmental problems.
