About Us
Earthwatch Europe works to create a world where we live in balance with nature.
We help people to protect the nature around them. We build meaningful nature connections and give people the tools they need to fight for our planet.
Working alongside communities and organisations, we build an understanding and a love of nature, and help everyone to protect the natural world. Guided by science and powered by people, we create change through connection.
People are the heart of everything we do. From the classroom to the boardroom and the field to the laboratory, we bring everyone together with the shared goal to protect our planet. We work where we can have the most impact, creating knowledge and inspiring action. We fight for our fragile planet with passion and with science – with our hearts and our minds.

Impact led
We work where we can have the biggest impact and drive the most change – in our towns and cities, our farmed fields and throughout our network of rivers, lakes and wetlands.
By working with communities, businesses and organisations across these three areas, we can build a movement to create a world where we live in balance with nature.
Powered by science
We are an Independent Research Organisation (IRO) and we use science to better understand the environmental challenges we face, and to find solutions to these issues.
We are leaders in – and passionate advocates of – citizen science: engaging the public in scientific research. We empower people from all walks of life to gather data, generate environmental insights and fight for change.
