Darwin200 Around the World

Follow Charles Darwin’s Footsteps


Become part of DARWIN200, a planetary conservation initiative that will empower the next generation’s elite environmental leaders and
engage millions of students worldwide in conservation projects.
Over 2023-2025, the beautiful tall ship Oosterschelde will re-sail the route of Charles Darwin’s voyage aboard HMS Beagle.
During this global voyage, the DARWIN200 team will:
• Train elite young conservationists, one from each of two
hundred countries and states around the world. These ‘DARWIN LEADERS’ will become tomorrow’s top environmental leaders.
• Create the World’s Most Exciting Classroom by beaming activities, research projects, experiments, lectures, essay competitions and weekly ‘nature hour’ events to schools
across the globe to engage millions of students, teachers and member of the general public.
• Undertake citizen science research projects by partnering with key conservation
organisations to engage global audiences in tackling many of the world’s most critical environmental problems.
