Sulawesi Island, at the heart of the Coral Triangle, harbors exceptional biodiversity, particularly in its karst mountain ranges and remote archipelagos. This natural wealth is now seriously threatened by destructive activities such as mining, intensive agriculture, deforestation, and pollution. These pressures endanger rare ecosystems and local communities alike.
In response to this urgent situation, our scientific expedition program organizes exploratory missions in understudied areas to better protect their natural and cultural treasures.
Upcoming expeditions:
Canopy & Karst Ecosystems Study Project: Exploration up to 2000 m altitude, biodiversity observation by elevation, and tree climbing.
Speleology & Underground Exploration Project: Archaeological prospections in karst caves, study of subterranean biodiversity, and analysis of an underground river system.
Role of ecovolunteers during the expeditions:
- Support logistics: Help access remote areas and set up a functional, comfortable, and eco-friendly base camp (water, energy, cooking, latrines).
-Assist research: Follow scientific protocols to study endemic biodiversity and pollution impacts on ecosystems.
Optional: Create audiovisual or artistic content (video, photography, illustration) to document the beauty, fragility, and conservation efforts of these places.
Expedition context:
These projects are true scientific adventures. You will operate in remote, isolated environments, far from modern comforts. These are largely unexplored territories where unpredictability and improvisation are an essential part of the experience!
Led by experienced explorers and researchers, with the support of a local university and the approval of local authorities, these expeditions ensure both a high level of safety and full immersion in spectacular ecosystems.
