Earthwatch Australia Earthwatch is a global not-for-profit organisation that empowers people to save the natural world. Earthwatch is an international environmental charity.

We create knowledge and inspire action through hands-on projects and programs to keep us ahead of climate change, save the reef and oceans, restore our iconic landscapes and protect our unique wildlife. Central to our approach is the use of citizen science, whereby people gather data to generate environmental insights, inform future policy and motivate behaviour change. We empower people to save the natural world through direct action and policy influence on critical environmental issues. We create knowledge through rigorous and relevant science that informs decision making, whilst our engaging experiences enable anyone to get hands on and make a difference. Our Vision: Working together to create a society that lives in balance with nature

LIVING BEYOND OUR MEANS
In just 50 years we have lost over half of our wildlife and we have as little as 12 years to limit the impacts of climate change. Collaboration between governments, policy-makers, businesses, civil society and scientists is essential if we are to tackle these complex challenges. Earthwatch helps make this happen. Using a blend of science and engagement, we deliver evidence-led experiences that educate and inspire action to arrest environmental decline. Our Mission: To empower people to save the natural world

Empowering people to action for the environment is at the heart of what we do. We are building on half a century of bringing people, science and nature together to create robust scientific knowledge. We are focused on key challenges where we can make the most difference. Around the world, our vibrant Earthwatch community inspires and drives positive change through individual and collective action, creating a more sustainable future and advancing scientific knowledge. The changes we all make in our homes, our workplaces and our communities, along with contributions to scientific research, combine to make an impact globally.

Wetland Wonders 🌿 Did you know mangroves help protect our coastlines?

Last week, we explored how mangroves store carbon and help tackle climate change. But their benefits don't stop there!

Growing where land meets sea, mangroves act as natural coastal barriers, helping protect communities from the impacts of storm surges, floods and even tsunamis. Their tangled root systems trap sediment, stabilise shorelines, reduce erosion and help absorb the energy of incoming waves.

In fact, an estimated 200 million people worldwide depend on mangroves for the protection, resources and livelihoods they provide.

These remarkable ecosystems support both people and nature, yet face growing pressures from climate change and human activities.

Through our Wetland Wonders series, we're uncovering the many ways coastal wetlands benefit our environment, and how citizen science and community action can help protect them for future generations.

Stay tuned for more facts about these incredible ecosystems!

💧 Building Queensland’s Next Generation of Water Stewards!

More than 250 primary school students from across South-East Queensland came together at Goodna State School to celebrate a year of hands-on water education, environmental learning and action through the Mizuiku Nature & Water School Program.

Delivered by Earthwatch Australia in partnership with Suntory Oceania, Mizuiku empowers Years 4–6 students to become Water Ambassadors, building their understanding of healthy waterways, water conservation and the importance of protecting our natural environment.

The event marked a milestone for the program, with Queensland’s largest Mizuiku Nature & Water School event to date, bringing students together to share their projects, exchange ideas and inspire positive environmental action in their communities.

As we celebrate this year's achievements, applications are now open for the 2027 program!

Read the media release to find out more about the program and how Queensland schools can get involved.

Wetland Wonders 🌿 More than meets the eye

Did you know mangroves store 4-10x more carbon and trap carbon 50x faster than other forests!

Mangrove and tidal wetland environments are vital coastal ecosystems, storing blue carbon in their vegetation and sediments, helping to mitigate the impacts of climate change.

Yet these important ecosystems face growing pressures from human activities and climate change.

Over the coming weeks, our Wetland Wonders series will explore the value of coastal wetlands, the threats they face and how citizen science and community-led action can help protect them for future generations. Stay tuned and learn some fun facts along the way!
