Earthwatch Grants
Earthwatch is an international environmental charity that is committed to conserving the diversity and integrity of life on earth to meet the needs of current and future generations.
Earthwatch supports field-based research projects around the world, mobilising a taskforce of Corporate employees, teachers, students, members of the public and young scientists who work alongside leading researchers on Earthwatch expeditions, collecting data that helps to advance our understanding of some of the most pressing environmental issues that we face.
Earthwatch has pioneered effective and mutually beneficial partnerships with businesses for over 20 years. By engaging the business sector, it mobilises the resources necessary to protect our environment while building corporate participation, awareness and understanding of environmental and social sustainability among company employees.
Earthwatch's remit ranges from investigating climate change impacts on forests, to monitoring ocean health, to understanding how traditional community knowledge can enhance our understanding of and capacity to protect threatened ecosystems.
Since 2003, Allianz Insurance has worked with Earthwatch to engage its employees in environmental issues; by offering them the opportunity to be part of an Earthwatch Expedition and make a real difference to the environment. By learning about our planet and how humans interact with the environment, ecosystems and the species that inhabit them; Allianz employees gain insight into how individuals, businesses and governments can protect our environment, safeguarding it for future generations.
