Earthwise Knowledge Initiative

Earthwise Knowledge Initiative is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit advancing public understanding through education and independent journalism focused on science, environmental issues, and history.

Earthwise Knowledge Initiative strengthens the quality of education by training and supporting teachers and advancing the study and practice of teaching and learning. Through independent journalism and educational systems development, we deepen public understanding of how science, environmental realities, and historical context influence civic life, public decision-making, and long-term societal outcomes.

Our work connects classroom practice, research, and journalism to improve how knowledge is taught, communicated, and understood.
