Hey Ofat, Thanks for the message. Earthwatch of course supports research all over the world. As yet however, we have no concrete plans to work in Ujung Kulon. Watch this space - you never know.

Terima Kasih!

Michael hi there, I usedto work alongside Earthwatch a few years back and knew Claire and Abbey, in the Oxford Office. I was so inspired by Earthwatch when I workedat HSBC, now im thinking of taking a university course back in the UK, as im living in finland now. I was thinking about environmental conservation. Can you please...give me some good advice for getting a foot in the door, I really want to work with charites or head to doing park ranging, but im just wondering what you may recommend. Is it worth doing a university course, im almost 30 years old now, or can i get in by working, and if so what do I need to do? volunteering etc? please Help!

Asta Skardziute Dear administrators
of this group,

I am postgraduate student from Vytautas Magnus
University in Lithuania (http://vdu.lt/). At the
moment I am carrying on a research study in the field of integrated communications
about nongovernmental organizations’ communication in social networking sites. Along
with other research methods... a qualitative survey of NGO’s involved in social
networking is used in this study (n=50).

Would you be able to answer 6 questions on how social network sites are used in your organization?

It would be possible to give answers in written
form by sending a private message through Facebook system or by e-mail. If you
would prefer present answers in oral form instead we could agree on online
interview, for example using Skype program. Any answer would be valuable to
provide useful insights for future improvements in virtual communication
practices.

Cordially,

Asta Skardziute

Asta--if you send an email to the two email addresses at the left (info@earthwatch.org for the US and info@eartwatch.org.uk for the UK), your question should get forwarded to the right people, who may be able to respond to you. (No guarantees, of course.) Thanks--and good luck with your research.

Laura B. While I love EarthWatch's mission and look forward to taking a trip, I don't understand why the 2010 expedition magazine came in the mail with a plastic wrapper. No inserts to keep in the piece. The plastic wrapper wasn't needed.

Hi Laura,
Thanks for raising this concern. We opted to go with a protective mailer this year after multiple years of having guides end up at their destinations damaged, or having address pages or labels torn off so they didn't arrive at all and got sent back to us. The bag we're using is biodegradable, compostable, and recycylable--we've been using... See More a similar product in the UK for years, and are now introducing it in the US. Thanks so much for your feedback, and we do hope you'll join us in the field in 2010.

Thanks for writing back! Can the mailer be labeled as such?

These properties are listed along the side seams of the mailer, admittedly a bit hard to spot. We're in converstaions now with the manufacturer about finding ways to make these properties more immediately visible, if not for the remainder of this year's mailings than certainly in the future. Thanks again for bringing this up here.
