Earthwatch at 50: Sarah Staunton-Lamb’s story
Sarah Staunton-Lamb, Senior Learning and Engagement Manager, joined Earthwatch in 2000 to work on the Millennium funded Fellowship programme. The programme offered the over-50s the chance to join an Earthwatch expedition before investing their newfound knowledge in a local community conservation project.
Before she joined Earthwatch, Sarah had volunteered within the wildlife sector, volunteered on a conservation project in Africa and worked for a development charity.
Earthwatch offered me not only the global perspective, but the ability to do something about it locally.
Looking back almost 20 years, Sarah remembers a very different office environment to the one she works in now.
I remember when the first HSBC programme started, she says. People used to fax things then. The fax machine was in the reception area. I remember coming in one morning and the entire floor was covered in paper because so many people had faxed in their applications over night.
But other things havent changed; Sarah says that during the 20 years that shes worked for Earthwatch.
The people who work at Earthwatch have always been people who are passionate about what we do.
