Odyssey for Life

Odyssey for Life is a scientific, cultural, and human adventure studying humpback whale migration from French Polynesia to Antarctica. The project records whale movements and behaviors to contribute to their protection within the Polynesian sanctuary. It also measures ocean pollution and its impact on whale health using non-invasive methods. 

This initiative combines scientific research with cultural engagement, aiming to protect humpback whales and their habitats. Your support aids in understanding and mitigating the effects of climate change and pollution on marine life.
It’s a rare blend of youth education, non-invasive research, and inspiring, human-centered science that needs visibility and funding.

Project CETI

Project CETI (Cetacean Translation Initiative) is a research initiative using AI, machine learning, and acoustic engineering to decode sperm whale communication. It's the world’s first attempt to truly understand the language of another species.

Understanding whale communication can revolutionize our relationship with marine life, leading to better conservation strategies and fostering empathy towards these intelligent creatures.
It opens a new ethical, philosophical, and scientific paradigm in interspecies relations - one that can reshape marine conservation forever.

The Whale Sanctuary Project

The Whale Sanctuary Project aims to transform the way people relate to whales and dolphins by ending their exploitation and creating seaside sanctuaries where they can live in a natural environment. The Whale Sanctuary Project is developing the world’s first seaside sanctuary for formerly captive whales and dolphins. It’s a bold step toward offering a life of dignity and care in a natural setting for marine mammals previously exploited by captivity.

Providing a natural sanctuary for formerly captive whales and dolphins is crucial for their rehabilitation and well-being, setting a precedent for ethical treatment of marine mammals.
It sets a new ethical standard for how humans treat whales - with care, healing, and rewilding at its heart.
