Killer whales off the coast of Iceland! Orcas typically specialize in a single prey source, but Iceland’s orcas are remarkably adaptable—some feeding on herring, others hunting both fish and marine mammals across multiple levels of the food chain. On our NEW Iceland expedition, travelers join scientists working to understand these unique hunting behaviors and what they reveal about orca health, survival and adaptation in a changing ocean. A breathtaking glimpse into the lives of one of the North Atlantic’s top predators. https://bit.ly/4tUTPyp

For decades, Dr. Richard Bodmer has conducted research in Peru's Upper Amazon, helping shape approaches to community-based conservation and sustainable wildlife management. Since the early 1990s, this long-term study in the Peruvian Amazon has tracked wildlife across interconnected habitats, examining how flooding, drought and heat affect population distributions and behaviors.

What happens to the Amazon rainforest when the waters rise?
Join our NEW Amazon River Expedition in Peru and work alongside scientists studying how seasonal flooding impacts pink river dolphins, primates, fish populations and one of the most biodiverse ecosystems on Earth.
Travel by private riverboat into remote flooded forests, search for caimans after dark and contribute to a 20-year climate research project in the Peruvian Amazon.

What does shark conservation research really look like in the field?
In Belize’s turquoise shallows, scientists catch, measure, tag, sample, and safely release sharks—collecting real-world data that helps protect one of the Caribbean’s most important marine ecosystems. Every moment in the field supports ongoing shark research, marine conservation in Belize, and long-term fisheries management.
On Conserving Sharks in Belize, you’ll work alongside researchers conducting wildlife research and field research focused on shark populations and ocean health in the Caribbean, contributing to ongoing conservation science efforts in the region.

This Earth Day, we are thrilled to announce a NEW line of conservation research-focused travel experiences: Earthwatch Expeditions by Nat Hab.

Building on the legacies of Nat Hab and Earthwatch, our joint expertise in conservation travel and participatory science promises to give travelers new and invigorating ways to contribute to conservation!

Since 1971, Earthwatch has paired travelers with scientists for hands-on field research that protects wildlife and wild places. Their work inspired Nat Hab founder Ben Bressler in the earliest days of the company with the idea that travel can be about more than seeing the world—it can also be an opportunity to help protect it.

As Earthwatch Expeditions by Nat Hab, we’re launching hands-on, small-group journeys around the world—from the Amazon and Arctic to the Maasai Mara and beyond—where travelers work side by side with scientists and take part in conservation research.

With more than 1,400 projects supported across 131 countries and nearly 10 million hours of fieldwork contributed, this is a legacy we’re proud to carry forward.

Please join us in the field! https://bit.ly/48LM1XM

Earthwatch expeditions offer a different way to experience the world.

In extraordinary places around the globe, volunteers work alongside scientists to take part in real field research—supporting conservation, discovery, and a deeper connection to the natural world.

It’s travel with purpose, shaped by science and driven by curiosity.

Conservation is not only about protecting what remains. Sometimes it is about helping a landscape recover.

In Kenya’s Greater Maasai Mara, Earthwatch participants work alongside scientists to monitor biodiversity, remove invasive species, reintroduce native plants, support experimental restoration plots, and help researchers understand how degraded savanna habitat can recover over time.

It is hands-on fieldwork in one of Africa’s most remarkable landscapes—and a chance to take part in research that helps shape the future of restoration.

You don’t have to travel halfway around the world to experience extraordinary field research.

In Acadia, volunteers help scientists study climate-driven ecological change in one of North America’s most iconic coastal landscapes. On the Texas coast, research helps protect the winter home of the endangered whooping cranes. In the western U.S., forest owl research offers another window into how ecosystems are changing.

Different places. Shared urgency. Real conservation science.

Protecting ocean life starts with understanding it.

From reef restoration in Bali to shark and ray research in Florida and marine life studies off the Baja Peninsula, Earthwatch expeditions offer a rare chance to experience marine science in some of the world’s most remarkable ocean environments.

Working alongside scientists in the field, volunteers help support research that deepens our understanding of life below the surface—and the ecosystems that sustain it.
