We ensure the availability of critical field data that accelerates
conservation and climate solutions
We achieve our mission by mobilizing and training outdoor enthusiasts and local communities to collect high-quality scientific data that are difficult to access, require too large a scale, or are too costly to obtain with traditional methods.
Our Impact Areas
Adventure Scientists focuses on four areas aligned with our mission and strengths. Each interacts with the others, building momentum for effective coalition-building and action. With our focus on forests, biodiversity, climate and freshwater, we accelerate our partners’ ambitious conservation efforts and help shape a world where people live in balance with nature.
Our Proven Model
Founded in 2011, Adventure Scientists has equipped hundreds of partners working at the cutting edge of climate and environmental fields with project planning, training, and field data to advance their goals. By mobilizing and training outdoor enthusiasts and local communities to collect high-quality scientific data that are difficult to access, require too large a scale, or are too costly to obtain with traditional methods, we are a cost-effective and powerful accelerator to conservation around the world.
