Education
It’s only by raising awareness of the problems affecting our natural environment that we will be able to protect it, preserve it as well as all the living species from the dangers of extinction.
It’s with that goal in mind that the Moorea Dolphin Center wanted to take action in educating the children’s of French Polynesia, who have such an important role for the future of our planet.
In collaboration with the Intercontinental Moorea Resort & Spa Hotel and the non profit organization Te Mana O Te Moana, the Moorea Dolphin Center propose educational programs to the local schools of French Polynesia so they can learn about cetaceans, their ecosystem and the dangers affecting their natural environment.
