Earth Quest is a new half-hour documentary series, being produced for The 
Discovery Channel, Canada, by Owl TV (Toronto) and Marathon Productions 
(France), about scientists whose discoveries may help us understand and perhaps 
better protect our planet.  

Earth Quest will follow these researchers as they set out on different journeys 
of discovery - whether it be climbing glaciers, hovering over rain forests or 
exploring the ocean depths.

Earth Quest is not a doom and gloom environmental series, but one that exudes 
wonder, adventure and hope.

We are looking for new and interesting field projects in the natural sciences 
or environmental studies that are ongoing or planned for the next 12 months 
(until summer 96) within Canada.

The kinds of research projects we would like to film will involve:

an expedition, or team project 

using new and innovative technology / techniques

a remote/visually interesting location

gaining new knowledge of a previously little-known subject or area

physical, mental or emotional challenges on the part of the researchers

cross-disciplinary research studying different aspects of a single environment 
or broader context

implications for ecological/environmental concerns
