Participatory science missions - ecovolunteering
WHAT IS ECO-VOLUNTEERING?
Eco-volunteering is a solidarity-based, participatory action that involves helping a biodiversity preservation project in one's spare time, by taking part in research, protection and conservation actions that take place directly in the field.
HUMPBACK WHALES IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC
ENDANGERED ACCORDING TO IUCN
Humpback whales in French Polynesia are no longer threatened with extinction as they were in the 1960s. However, the South Pacific population is still classified as “endangered” by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
It is with this backdrop that the Oceania association, under agreement with the DIREN, works on a daily basis to improve knowledge and set up projects to preserve this emblematic species of French Polynesia.
COMMITTED TO WHALE CONSERVATION IN THE SANCTUARY
For the 2024 season, the Oceania association is launching 3 eco-volunteer missions to recruit support from the general public and enable everyone to get involved in the preservation of humpback whales.
