This is a volunteer experience in an extraordinary environment, such as taking data on coastal reefs while wearing a wetsuit or tracking wildlife in remote forests.
In various fields across the country, we conduct ecological surveys of small animals and insects that are endangered, and engage in basic research aimed at promoting coexistence between forest animals and humans. We stay at university training facilities or guesthouses, with the duration of our stay on-site ranging from a day trip to about two nights and three days.

Applications/Examples of results
Here are the impressions from those who participated in the domestic project: "I never realized there were so many living organisms in nature that I usually pass by without a second thought. There are creatures that lose their habitats due to careless renovations, are pushed out by invasive species, or disappear unnoticed due to random human actions. My desire to support researchers who carefully focus on these organisms and take the time to conduct thorough investigations has grown even stronger. I believe that as the foundation of basic research expands, we will gain insight into the future of our planet." ........ "While I can study and understand through newspaper reports and lectures, it is quite difficult to grasp it as an image. However, this time, by actually participating in the survey, I was surprised to find that I could easily and vividly visualize it. I truly felt the depth of the significance of Earthwatch's activities." ........ "I am not entirely confident that my participation is genuinely contributing to the research of the professors, but every time I participate, I feel a sense of fulfillment, thinking, 'I really charged up this time.'"
Company information
Since its inception, enthusiastic Earthwatch fans have emerged around the world. The main reason for this is that ordinary citizens without special skills voluntarily participate in field research, working under the guidance of world-class scientists, and can experience "the current state of the Earth." In other words, it is the largest organization in the world that connects cutting-edge science (field research) with the general public. The primary goal of Earthwatch is to investigate and document changes on Earth through the "eyes of science" and to create the necessary "knowledge base" for a sustainable future. It does not impose or enforce any ideologies, principles, or claims. Based on scientific data, it communicates and proposes solutions to humanity's challenges from a fair standpoint. Earthwatch Japan supports field research by Japanese scientists in the most effective way, aligned with Japan's needs and current situation, to address common human problems. It mobilizes volunteers for these research projects and also sends volunteers to overseas projects as part of international cooperation activities.
