We stand with communities on the frontlines of environmental change.

Ecologists Without Borders (EcoWB) partners with communities around the world hit hardest by environmental and climate crises—connecting them with the skills, knowledge, and resources they need to protect and restore the ecosystems their lives depend on.

URGENT: End-of-Year Appeal

More communities are reaching out for support every week, and the need is growing faster than our resources. Please donate or share our appeal TODAY to help us raise $50,000 by December 31 — so we can start 2026 ready to support every community counting on us.

Communities whose lives depend on the environment are facing crisis.

For millions of people around the world, life depends on the land and water around them. Forests, lakes, wild lands, and oceans provide their food, water, and income. But when these ecosystems are damaged—by pollution, deforestation, invasive species, or climate change—entire communities are put at risk. Food becomes scarce. Water sources are threatened. Livelihoods collapse. Health deteriorates. And for communities already living with limited resources, each new environmental shock pushes them closer to crisis.

EcoWB connects communities with the expertise and support they need to respond, adapt, and recover.

EcoWB has built a global network of over 1,000 environmental professionals from dozens of different disciplines who volunteer their skills to support environmentally vulnerable communities worldwide. Our volunteers connect — not as outside experts, but as project partners — working with local leaders to co-develop plans to restore damaged ecosystems, protect vital resources, build resilience against future threats, and safeguard wildlife and habitats. EcoWB volunteers bring science-based technical know-how and practical support — so communities can take action and create lasting change for themselves and their natural environments.
