Landmarks: Earthwatch
Earthwatch is a unit of the BBC Schools TV series Landmarks from the 1990s, covering Geography for primary school pupils.
Programmes about conservation, pollution and other environmental issues, investigated by schoolchildren looking at their local areas.
This unit coincided with an international project by the organisation Greenpeace called 'No Time to Waste' which united the same schools taking part in these TV programmes to investigate and share information about environmental issues that affected them.
More footage from these investigations was used to make a separate unit of Landmarks Special Reports programmes.
In 1993 the Landmarks Weather Watch programmes were repeated alongside this unit, and listed as part of it in the teaher's notes.
