MAYNARD. MA 24 teachers from six states - California, Florida, Massachusetts, Maine, Rhode Island, and Washington – will venture to the vast wetlands of Brazil’s Pantanal and to the Skagit River watershed of Washington this summer to participate in conservation research projects as part of a $75,000 grant award Earthwatch Institute has received from National Geographic Society Education Foundation (NGSEF). Earthwatch’s "Strengthening Geography in Schools through Conservation Field Work and Collaboration" is strategically designed to address the lack of geographic knowledge among students in the United States. "This innovative project will help students become stewards of our natural and cultural resources,” said Barbara Chow, Executive Director of the Society’s Education Foundation. “Giving these teachers a first-hand look at the realities of conservation issues will enliven their teaching.” The project will send 24 geography/science educators to conservation projects in the Pantanal wetlands in Brazil and the Skagit River watershed in Washington State. Through subsequent workshops and websites, these teachers expect to reach another 2,400 K-12 teachers and 240,000 students with geography and conservation lessons linking field research to local environmental issues.

As part of Earthwatch's research initiative with Conservation International of Brazil, the teachers will work with scientists to map and monitor endangered wildlife to help protect this unique area. Although few people have heard of it, the Pantanal is the largest wetland in the world and one of the most spectacular wildlife areas in South America. Amidst caimans and capybaras, teachers will communicate with their students via email, photos, teleconferencing, and online lessons. Upon return home teachers will share what they have learned through projects at schools and workshops with colleagues.
