Earthwatch Institute
The Earthwatch Institute article has an appropriate summary of the history and purpose of the organization. The lead provides a good summary of the article; however, the last two paragraphs of the lead could be moved to the “Organization and History” section in order to condense the information in the lead and improve the article’s organization.

Another aspect that would improve the article would be add references for the expeditions listed under sections “Earthwatch Expeditions” and “Previously Funded Earthwatch Expeditions”. Both sections are composed of an extensive list of expeditions, many of which have led to published peer-reviewed work that should be linked or referenced.

Finally, to improve the article I would add a section labeled “Impacts and Achievements”. In this section I would list some of the policy outcomes, publications, or major corporate partnerships i.e.- Starbucks, HSBC, British America Tobacco- arising from Earthwatch projects. I would maybe even add a sub-heading under this section labeled “Corporate Partnership Outcomes” because there are many with extensively documented impacts that could be fact-checked with good sources.
