No previous experience is required, team sizes are small and your costs may even be tax deductible! This highly respected program puts people back into the research, education and conservation equation and in doing so actively promotes a more sustainable future. Australia's Fellowship Program: Earthwatch Australia has a number of fellowship programs funded either by corporations or foundations. These fellowship programs provide opportunities for people who will benefit either personally or professionally from joining an Earthwatch field project. They are directed to students, teachers or people from specific communities. Indonesian Fellowship Program This program was initiated in 1999 by Earthwatch Australia with funding from Rio Tinto as part of Rio Tinto�s global partnership with Earthwatch. Through this program, fellowships are offered to Indonesians from a range of organisations (including NGOs, universities, national parks and other government agencies) working in science, conservation and natural resource management. The fellowship program enables Indonesians to participate in selected field research projects in South-East Asia or Australia. The fellowship recipients spend two weeks working as part of an international scientific research team, they learn first-hand about scientific methodology and its application to conservation issues, meet other conservationists and make useful professional contacts and gain greater understanding of the role that NGOs can play in supporting scientific research and conservation efforts. The fellowships cover all costs in the field as well as travel to and from the research site. Each year, up to five fellowships are offered.
