Sharing what we learn about dolphins is part of our missions. In recent weeks, we have had the opportunity to do so with young people from Fenua during two events.
Science Festival: cetaceans at the Rangiroa middle school
In October, as part of the Science Festival, we intervened with 4e and 5e classes at the Rangiroa middle school. This year's theme, "Savory Knowledge", gave us the opportunity to talk about the cetaceans of Polynesia and their diet.
The Have’a association of French Polynesia
In early November, thanks to Tiare Charles, we welcomed teenagers who came to stay in Rangiroa with the Have’a association of French Polynesia.
This time, we talked about the dolphins of the Tiputa area and the issues related to their observation. In particular, we explained how we work on a daily basis, and especially how we identify each dolphin. We then asked the young people to help us identify a few of them, which they did brilliantly! 👏
Māuru’uru to the University of French Polynesia for organizing the Science Festival, to Tiare Charles and to the Have’a association of French Polynesia for this moment of sharing with the young people of Fenua: they are the ones who, tomorrow, will take care of the dolphins and the Polynesian ocean! 💙
