NATIONAL DISCOVERYGear Up for Ultimate AdventuresNational Discovery connects funders, environmental institutions and responsible businesses with a field-ready community of young adventurers across Egypt.
Founded in 2015, National Discovery has grown into a community of more than 5,000 adventurers and young people united by curiosity, responsible exploration and respect for Egypt's natural heritage.
National Discovery community has led initiatives and participated in more than 150 awareness, training, certification, clean-up, recycling and related environmental campaigns—mobilizing active members and partner organizations around practical community action.
Our next chapter connects that trusted community, its field experience and its digital reach with partners who want environmental commitments to become visible, local and measurable action.
A welcoming community brings young people and experienced adventurers together—creating the trust and continuity needed for sustained environmental engagement.
We use participation in the outdoors as a pathway to awareness, practical conservation and long-term care for place.
Guided hiking, mountain climbing, desert camping, 4x4 exploration, diving, snorkelling and cultural journeys create repeated opportunities to model low-impact outdoor behaviour.
Our active members have already delivered and participated in environmental awareness sessions, clean-up activities, practical training and recycling campaigns. Partner-designed programmes can build on that proven participation around locally identified priorities in protected, coastal, desert and urban natural areas.
Members work side by side to collect and consolidate waste in sensitive desert landscapes, demonstrating practical volunteer coordination and care for place.
National Discovery seeks mission-aligned partners who share a long-term commitment to Egypt's environment and protected areas. Together, we can convert recurring youth participation into practical conservation: programmes co-designed with local stakeholders, delivered with clear safeguards, and tracked against agreed baselines, targets and evidence.
Our role is to bring community mobilization, field activation, communications and sustained engagement. Partners can contribute finance, technical expertise, equipment, access, research or in-kind support. Every collaboration begins with a defined environmental need and ends with transparent learning and results reporting.
Community stewardship, responsible visitation and coastal action that support a resilient Red Sea and sustainable blue economy.
Awareness, field support and community participation that strengthen the protection and restoration of natural habitats.
Locally relevant action addressing climate resilience, land degradation, water pressures and responsible resource use.
Prevention, clean-up, segregation and education initiatives that reduce pressures on sensitive terrestrial and marine ecosystems.
Community diving experiences create opportunities to reinforce safe, responsible marine access and respect for reef ecosystems.
Visitor demand, fragile ecosystems and fragmented field information increasingly meet in the same places. Prevention needs a clearer operating picture before pressure becomes damage.
Peak visitation can concentrate at reefs, dive sites and safari or camping zones without a shared view of site capacity and recovery time.
Plastics and poorly handled waste from visitors, camps, boats, yachts and coastal operations can reach sensitive habitats.
Touching, standing, anchoring and poor buoyancy can harm coral, disturb marine life and weaken responsible adventure standards.
Marine heat, coastal construction, sediment, runoff and other cumulative pressures can increase habitat loss and coral-bleaching risk.
The opportunity: connect responsible access, youth participation and trusted site-level evidence in one prevention model.
Our proposed intelligent platform and trained youth network connect visitor preparation, community activity, site-level observations and governed reporting, turning repeated adventure into repeated care.
Capacity-aware discovery, Know Before You Go guidance and simple reef, safari and protected-area codes.
Youth ambassadors, briefings, clean-ups and geo-tagged field observations gathered through structured protocols.
Quality-controlled vertical data, hotspot dashboards, thresholds, alerts and partner-ready or national-level reports.
Responsible experiences, eco-lodges and local enterprises gain visibility, with selected journeys able to support conservation.
Help create the community platform that connects responsible tourism, environmental awareness, field intelligence and long-term financial sustainability.
Co-design the platformEligible programmes are structured through the community's sponsoring foundation, Environment Without Borders Foundation (EWBF), with roles and controls defined for each grant or partnership.
Strategic priorities, finance, expertise and agreed outcomes.
Grant eligibility, agreements, financial administration, compliance and formal reporting, as applicable to the programme.
Community mobilization, field delivery, content, volunteer coordination and evidence capture.
Verified outputs, partner reporting, learning and scalable environmental outcomes.
EWBF is National Discovery community's sponsoring foundation and an environmental NGO focused on nature conservation and the wellbeing of local communities. The final governance, fiduciary, safeguarding and reporting arrangements are documented in the relevant partnership agreement.
Its public activity also includes participation in multi-stakeholder environmental consultation, including strategic environmental assessment dialogue concerning tourism in the North Red Sea. See EWBF public activity
We do not treat participation as impact on its own. Each programme starts with a baseline, defines time-bound targets, identifies evidence sources and assigns reporting responsibility.
Final indicators and targets are co-designed after site assessment and stakeholder consultation; claims are reported only when supported by documented evidence.
Environmental action is already part of the National Discovery community's behaviour. Across years of activity, engaged members have contributed time, energy and peer influence to awareness, clean-up and recycling initiatives.
Partnership funding can strengthen what already works: establish baselines, deepen technical quality, expand geographic reach and turn recurring community participation into verified environmental outcomes.
Member-facing sessions, peer communication and stakeholder dialogue make responsible decisions practical before, during and after outdoor activities.
Active members have mobilized around clean-up activities, creating a tested foundation for site-based action with clearer measurement and follow-through.
Previous recycling campaigns demonstrate the community's willingness to sort, collect and advocate for more responsible material use.
Training campaigns help members turn environmental awareness into safer, better-coordinated and more repeatable field action.
Members, volunteers and supporting organizations gathered for a large-scale environmental field activity—evidence of the community's ability to mobilize people around a shared place and purpose.
Fund a field programme, strengthen the intelligent platform, or co-create a responsible tourism model with clear geography, safeguards, delivery milestones and measurable results.
