Are you passionate about wildlife, earth science or the environment? If so, why not join a citizen science tour? These study trips allow you to participate in scientific research through observation and data collection.

Earthwatch

The environmental charity Earthwatch has been sending volunteers on research trips for nearly fifty years. The firm’s latest tour takes citizen scientists to Peru on a weeklong journey to photograph, measure and collect genetic samples of fish to help stop overfishing.

Lindblad Expeditions-national Geographic

Lindblad Expeditions-national Geographic was successful in launching last year’s pilot program, Citizen Science Bioblitz. Trips starting this year will follow whales in Alaska, sharks in the South Pacific and study microplastics in the Antarctic.

Shinta Mani Wild

Shinta Mani Wild, a new camp in Cambodia’s Cardamom Mountains, has partnered with the Cambodian government to protect an 800-acre river valley from poaching (偷猎) and mining. “Our guests get real excitement from jumping on the back of a motorbike to save local wildlife,” said Sangjay Choegyal, the general manager. NOTE: A minimum three-night stay is required and participants must be at least 13 years old.

Biosphere Expeditions

The international nonprofit Biosphere Expeditions has a series of new trips including monitoring the “Big Five” in Kenya. “Hard data is the key to all scientific arguments, and we encourage people to collect useful data to help protect the planet,” said Matthias Hammer, executive director of Biosphere Expeditions.

9 . Planning a visit to the UK? Here we help with ways to cut your costs.

AVOID BIG EVENTS Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room. A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival (19 Oct.) cost £ 169. 15 at Booking.com. A week later, the same room cost £ 118.15.

If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid--- or you're looking for a big event to pass your time--- check out sites such as Whatsonwhen.com, which allow you to search for events in the UK by city, date and category.

STAYAWAY FROM THE STATION If traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday.

Don't be too choosy about the part of town you stay in. Booking two months in advance, the cheapest room at Travelodge's Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was £ 95.95 . A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was £ 75.75 . And at Farringdon, a double room cost just £ 62.95 .

LOOK AFTER YOURSELF Really central hotels in cities such as London. Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events. As a choice consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen, where you can cook. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings. A great example is the historic O'Neill Flat on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, available for £ 420 for five days in late September, with room for four adults.

GET ON A BIKE London’s "Boris bikes' have attracted the most attention, but other cities also have similar programs that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace, saving you on public transport or car parking costs.

Among the smaller cities with their own programs are Newcastle (casual members pay around £ 1.50 for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes, or £5 per day).
