Take Climate Action together

Activities

Participants will learn about climate change at the global and local scale and how this impacts biodiversity. They will learn how to identify various species and how to use the ClimateWatch app. They then head outdoors to collect phenological data on ClimateWatch indicator species. The data is used to help build management strategies for species into the future.

Skills

• Teamwork
• Species identification (climate-sensitive flora and fauna)
• Improved understanding of climate change
• Trained ClimateWatcher

The Science

ClimateWatch is the first continental-scale phenology research program in the southern hemisphere. Data is used to help build management strategies for species into the future. Participants are encouraged to continue using the app from home contributing to national data on an ongoing basis.

Earthwatch Expedition Fellowships

You can offer your staff an Earthwatch Fellowship to go on any Earthwatch research expedition anywhere in the world, from Uganda to the Peruvian Amazon, the Caribbean to the Arctic Circle, from Italy to Iceland and Mongolia to Cuba. All costs are covered (food, accommodation, transport, activities, park entrance fees, travel insurance) except flights to and from the expedition.

Closer to home, we have two Earthwatch Fellowship expeditions to the Great Barrier Reef:

• Protecting the Reef's Coastal Frontier | Participants undertake an immersive experience in wetland health and carbon storage in the Daintree or Mackay
• Recovery of the Great Barrier Reef | Based on Magnetic Island, participants travel to multiple research sites to undertake reef restoration work
