The project’s three main objectives are:
DARWIN200 VISION
THE DARWIN200
01
OBJECTIVE 1
EMPOWER
Empower the planet’s top 200 young conservationists (known as Darwin Leaders) to empower elite environmental decision-makers to change the world of tomorrow;
02
OBJECTIVE 2
INSPIRE
Inspire global audiences through ‘the world’s most exciting classroom’ activities to better appreciate nature and conservation efforts and;
03
OBJECTIVE 3
SOLVE
Solve real conservation problems through interactive citizen science research projects beamed live from the ship to engage audiences around the globe.
The DARWIN200 project centres on the 2023-2025 Global Voyage, re-tracing Charles Darwin’s
famous journey on HMS Beagle.
To achieve our three objectives, the DARWIN200 tall ship will stop in every major port where Charles Darwin made landfall, including 50 one-week stays along the voyage itinerary.
The long-term legacy of the DARWIN200 project will be one that keeps growing through the lives and careers of the elite DARWIN LEADERS, the education that is taught in ‘the world’s most exciting classroom’, and the practical solutions created as a result of our research projects.
Objectives
Empower the planet’s top 200 young conservationists
We call them our DARWIN LEADERS: A selection of the best 18-25 year old scientists and conservationists from 200 countries and states who will receive intensive training onboard the ship to develop the skills they need to tackle tomorrow’s conservation problems.
INSPIRE 200 million people worldwide
The DARWIN200 project offers a vast platform of free, interactive resources for students, teachers and the general public. Allowing millions of people to be a part of the voyage in real time.
SOLVE important conservation issues
We are undertaking five citizen science research projects, each exploring practical solutions to contribute to a brighter future. These will help global audiences to better understand many of the world’s most critical environmental threats, from plastic pollution to the decline of coral reefs.
