While wildlife is becoming extinct on our planet, it is more important than ever to know more about the last sanctuaries of biodiversity in order to protect them without delay.
Scientific expeditions in the 21st century?
All of our expeditions have a few major principles in common: to facilitate scientists’ access to difficult, little-studied environments in order to better establish their richness, to raise awareness and to encourage the preservation of biodiversity through impactful communication, before laying the foundations for a conservation approach.
And we still have many plans for the future!
Ongoing scientific research
In addition to our ecovolunteer missions, we carry out short and more targeted missions on a daily basis, including :
- Occasional exploration missions in search of specific species or to complete the archaeological inventory of the Makay massif.
- Participatory science missions to monitor highly vulnerable or bioindicator species (especially lemurs) in the forests of Makay.
