The team has been documenting changes in global biodiversity—navigating coral reefs in French Polynesia, the icefields of Patagonia, and the unique ecosystems of the Galápagos Islands.
Fresh from their New Zealand mission relocating kiwi from Rotoroa to Motutapu they’re ready to share their stories. Explorer and captain Victor Rault will offer insights from their voyage, reflections on conservation in the 21st century and tales of resilience and change from the natural world.
This is an inspiring opportunity to hear firsthand from a crew living at the intersection of exploration and environmental action.
