E.A.R. — The Expedition Audacity Research Foundation

The E.A.R. Foundation is a nonprofit alliance of conservation innovators, frontline explorers, and justice-driven storytellers. We don’t just act—we listen. To ecosystems in collapse. To voices on the margins. To Indigenous wisdom and the quiet signals of a planet in distress.

As a 501(c)(3) foundation, E.A.R. exists to support unconventional, high-impact approaches to understanding and protecting life on Earth—through science, through story, through solidarity.

We amplify the unheard.

We trace the hidden.

We document the vanishing—and fight for what must not be lost.

E.A.R. supports missions that sail into remote and overlooked places, often in partnership with local and Indigenous communities. We back investigators exposing environmental harm and networks of exploitation. We provide secure channels for whistleblowers and witnesses. And we empower a new generation of explorers who understand that conservation isn’t about nostalgia—it’s about radical listening and collective action.

Together, these initiatives form a resonant wave—pushing back against destruction and silence, and moving toward accountability, regeneration, and hope.

We don’t just observe the world. We tune into it.

This is E.A.R.

Our Vision

Pioneering Conservation, Justice, and Scientific Adventure

We listen. We learn. We act.

E.A.R. isn’t just a foundation—it’s a vessel for those who hear the call of something greater.

We listen to the rhythms of the ocean, the wisdom of Indigenous knowledge, the whispers of ecosystems under pressure, and the stories too often silenced. We support researchers, storytellers, and defenders of the planet who move with purpose, guided by curiosity, justice, and respect.

If your work pushes boundaries and speaks truth—if you’re looking for a home that amplifies bold ideas with structure, ethics, and solidarity—then you've found your frequency.

This is where deep listening becomes real-world impact.

This is E.A.R.

Join the wave. Be part of the signal.

Bring Your Mission Into the Network

At E.A.R., we believe that real change begins with bold ideas—grounded in ethics, fueled by courage, and brought to life through collective action.

No single voice can solve the climate and biodiversity crises alone. That’s why we’re building a resonant network: a community of aligned individuals and organizations working together across disciplines and distances. If you have a conservation or environmental justice project that aligns with our principles, we invite you to bring it under the E.A.R. Foundation umbrella.

Whether you’re a scientist mapping disappearing habitats, a filmmaker capturing truth, an Indigenous knowledge keeper, activist, or explorer—we provide the nonprofit structure, shared infrastructure, and collaborative network to help your vision thrive.

What Connects All E.A.R. Projects?

🔹 Ethical Exploration
We move with humility, respect, and responsibility. No extractive research. No savior narratives. We listen first, then act.

🔹 Justice-Driven Science
Knowledge must do more than inform—it must protect. We investigate where harm hides and defend what others overlook.

🔹 Radical Transparency
We pursue truth with rigor and integrity, and we share what we learn openly and honestly.

🔹 Collaborative Spirit
We reject silos and ego. Within E.A.R., projects share tools, knowledge, and support to lift each other higher.

🔹 Global Inclusion
Indigenous knowledge and local leadership are not just welcome—they are essential. We follow, we amplify, we learn.

If you’re ready to ride the wave of change—

If your work speaks to the planet and listens deeply in return—

Then E.A.R. is ready to stand with you.

This isn’t just a platform.

It’s a movement.

Let’s build it together.
