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 FOCUS AREAS
Adventure Scientists focuses on four impact areas aligned with our mission and strengths. Each impact area interacts with the others, building momentum for effective coalition-building and action. By focusing on forests, biodiversity, climate, and freshwater, we accelerate our partners’ ambitious conservation efforts and help shape a world that sustains us all.

In 2016, Adventure Scientists volunteers collected animal scat from around the world which contributed to the data utilized in this study and its subsequent findings.
