Last Friday, April 15th, 2022, the Ecomuseum Te Fare Natura organized events for World Art Day. A unique opportunity to celebrate art in all its forms.

Te mana o te moana held a stand dedicated to promoting 17 years of artistic works created by children on various subjects related to the environment and sea turtles. Real little budding creators who were proud to see their work shared!

It was also an opportunity to educate visitors on the need to safeguard marine resources, in particular with the help of educational booklets and games.

In total, nearly 400 people were welcomed during this event.

Since the start of the school holidays, educational programs have been in full swing at Te mana o te moana.

The young teenagers in Arii Heiva Rau – Francas holiday camps came to meet the association: 70 young people had the pleasure of discovering the residents of the Care Center as part of a Discovery Program.

A very beautiful moment of exchanges with these young people from the islands of the Tuamotus, Australs, Marquesas or even Tahiti who are fully aware of the importance of protecting sea turtles and the ravages of plastic pollution.

It’s time to go back to school!

On this occasion, school buses in Moorea were decorated with awareness posters to fight against plastic pollution. A first on our beautiful island.

“AITA pehu STOP to waste” are the watchwords for this campaign. We hope that this initiative will help change bad habits and limit the amount of waste thrown into the wild that pollutes our land, our oceans and endangers marine and terrestrial wildlife.
