Some of our actions are part of programs of research, education and awareness for which we collaborate with local and international partners. For these projects, we benefit from the financial support of various entities.
Projects in progress
ESPACYPA project - Monitoring bird species of hunting and heritage interest
The objective of the project is to acquire a better knowledge of the game bird species of the French West Indies for appropriate management.
This project is financially supported by the Fédération Départementale des Chasseurs de Guadeloupe and the DEAL Guadeloupe (via the Plan France Relance) in Guadeloupe, and the Fédération Départementale des Chasseurs de Martinique and the DEAL Martinique in Martinique.
DEVIMTOR project - Demography and diet of exotic freshwater turtles
The aim of the project is to study three species of invasive freshwater turtles in Guadeloupe and Martinique: the African slider (Pelusios castaneus), the Antillean slider (Trachemys stejnegeri) and the Yellow-bellied slider turtle (Trachemys scripta).
This project is being carried out with the financial support of the Office français de la biodiversité (OFB).
Completed projects
MERCI project - Invasive alien reptiles
The project aimed to complete scientific knowledge about several species of invasive exotic reptiles, to implement concrete actions for their monitoring and management in the field, and to develop preventive measures. The MERCI project was co-financed by the INTERREG Caribbean program under the European Regional Development Fund.
REVPOL project - Revegetation for pollinators
The project aimed to improve revegetation strategies in urban and peri-urban areas in the French West Indies, while increasing knowledge of the link between different plants and pollinators. The REVPOL project received financial support from the European Union – NextGeneration EU, France Relance and the Office Français de la Biodiversité.
PROSPOVERG project - Monitoring wildlife in a dry forest
The aim of the PROSPOVERG project was to identify the diversity of bird and mammal populations in a dry forest of Guadeloupe while training students in wildlife monitoring methods. The PROSPOVERG project was funded by the Office Français de la Biodiversité.
Development of educational resources and tools adapted to the Caribbean context for teaching biodiversity in middle and high school
The project has enabled the creation of life science teaching booklets for middle and high school students, based on the official curriculum and illustrated with examples from the biodiversity of the Caribbean.
Training in environmental diplomacy
Young Caribbean diplomats have benefited from comprehensive training to better understand the geopolitical issues related to biodiversity and better promote their country's interests in the field of the environment. This training was created thanks to a partnership with the National Museum of Natural History in Paris.
Creation of a series of short documentaries on the biodiversity of the insular Caribbean
This project was carried out in partnership with the AMAZONA association. Most of the films produced are available on our YouTube channel and on our videos page.
