| Description | PUBLIC PROGRAM:EARTHWATCH'S PUBLIC PROGRAM INVOLVES A GLOBAL COMMUNITY OF RESEARCHERS, CONSERVATION VOLUNTEERS, EDUCATORS, STUDENTS, NGO'S AND BUSINESSES WORKING TOGETHER TOWARD A SUSTAINABLE ENVIRONMENT. THROUGH ITS EXPEDITIONS, EARTHWATCH ENGAGES INDIVIDUALS IN HANDS-ON ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH ALONGSIDE LEADING SCIENTISTS, WHERE THEY ACTIVELY PARTICIPATE IN RESEARCH THAT CONTRIBUTES TO THE UNDERSTANDING OF ENVIRONMENTAL CHALLENGES. THE PROGRAM SUPPORTS OVER 45 FIELD RESEARCH PROJECTS ACROSS NEARLY 30 COUNTRIES. OF THE $9 MILLION IN ANNUAL REVENUE EARTHWATCH U.S. RAISES, APPROXIMATELY $3.5 MILLION RELATES TO THE EARTHWATCH PUBLIC PROGRAM. OVER 2,100 PEOPLE PARTICIPATED ON EARTHWATCH FIELD PROGRAMS DURING THE YEAR, OF WHICH 1,175 WERE PUBLIC VOLUNTEERS. THESE INDIVIDUALS CONTRIBUTED OVER 60,000 HOURS TO RESEARCH DATA COLLECTION. THIS HAS ENABLED OUR AFFILIATED SCIENTISTS TO PRODUCE 65 PEER REVIEWED ARTICLES AND CONTRIBUTE TO 35 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLANS AND POLICIES. EARTHWATCH IS DEDICATED TO CREATING AN ENVIRONMENTAL LEGACY THROUGH ITS RESEARCH PROJECTS, EXPERIENTIAL EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS AND HANDS-ON VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES IN FIELD RESEARCH.TRUSTS FOUNDATIONS AND INDIVIDUALS:APPROXIMATELY $1.4 MILLION OF EARTHWATCH'S REVENUE PERTAINS TO GRANTS FROM TRUSTS, FOUNDATIONS AND INDIVIDUALS. THIS REVENUE WAS APPLIED TO UNDERWRITE THE EARTHWATCH FIELD RESEARCH PROGRAMS AND TO FUND THE PARTICIPATION OF APPROXIMATELY 35 TEACHERS AND 60 STUDENTS ON THESE PROGRAMS. SURVEYS CONDUCTED ON BEHALF OF EARTHWATCH INDICATE THAT THESE STUDENTS AND TEACHERS WERE PROFOUNDLY IMPACTED BY THEIR EARTHWATCH EXPERIENCE. IN ONE SURVEY OVER 60% OF STUDENTS REPORTED THAT THE EXPERIENCE SIGNIFICANTLY OR VERY SIGNIFICANTLY "CHANGED THE WAY THEY THINK ABOUT THE PURPOSE OF THEIR LIFE". THIS SAME SURVEY FOUND THAT OVER 70% OF STUDENT PARTICIPANTS BECAME MUCH MORE INTERESTED IN SCIENCE OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM, A MAJORITY PURSUED ADDITIONAL SCIENCE AND ENVIRONMENTALLY RELATED COURSE WORK IN BOTH HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE AND 46% CHOSE A SCIENCE MAJOR. A SURVEY OF TEACHERS FOUND THAT MORE THAN HALF THE TEACHERS REPORTED THAT THEIR PARTICIPATION ON THE PROJECTS HAS VERY SIGNIFICANTLY: - INCREASED THEIR SENSE OF PERSONAL CONNECTION TO THE NATURAL WORLD - INCREASED THEIR COMMITMENT TO TAKE POSITIVE ACTION TOWARDS A SUSTAINABLE ENVIRONMENT OR COMMUNITY - MOTIVATED THEM TO INCLUDE MORE ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS IN THEIR DAY-TO-DAY DECISIONS MAKINGCORPORATE PROGRAMS:EARTHWATCH U.S. HAS PARTNERSHIPS WITH SEVERAL CORPORATE DONORS INCLUDING HSBC, ALCOA, UPS AND ERNST AND YOUNG ENABLING THEM TO SEND THEIR STAFF ON EARTHWATCH FIELD RESEARCH PROGRAMS WORLDWIDE FOR HANDS ON EXPERIENCE AND ENGAGEMENT IN ISSUES OF ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS, CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY AND INCORPORATING SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES INTO THEIR COMPANY'S CULTURE IN ORDER TO MEET THEIR INTERNALLY DRIVEN SUSTAINABILITY GOALS.
