Adventure Scientists

Adventure Scientists® is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization based in Bozeman, MT, that operates globally.

Leaders working at the cutting edge of conservation and climate solutions are often constrained by a lack of access to critical field data to achieve their goals. Adventure Scientists equips these leaders with high- quality data collected from the outdoors that are crucial to addressing environmental challenges. By tapping into the capacity of outdoor enthusiasts and community volunteers to gather data at scale that is typically difficult and/or costly to obtain by traditional methods, we are a cost-effective and powerful accelerator to conservation around the world. We partner with and provide this data to research institutions, NGOs, and government agencies that are tackling pressing environmental challenges, thereby accelerating solutions. In addition, we publish the data on open source platforms so it is available to additional scientists around the world. 

Adventure Scientists’ unique model enables scientists to ask broader questions, engages a larger constituency in conservation, and creates compelling storytelling opportunities. Our partnerships have produced groundbreaking environmental discoveries, improved accountability across supply chains, and catalyzed initiatives that will positively impact the planet for generations.
