Guest Media Entries
At Adventure Scientists, we believe in empowering our adventurers to make a difference in conservation. Equally important is sharing stories of these experiences.
The organization has as many voices as volunteers—hundreds at any given time. For this reason, we feature media by guest contributors on Field Notes, as well as our social media and other outlets including the National Geographic Voices and 1% for the Planet blogs.
The guidelines below outline suggestions for crafting a blog entry. We reserve the right to edit all submissions; when possible, we’ll send you the edited version to review for accuracy before it goes live.
Most importantly, have fun!
Submission
