Our Purpose
Empower. Protect. Share
Through innovative environmental initiatives and education, Gaia First envisions a sustainable future where humanity and nature thrive in harmony.
Gaia First exists at the intersection of science, traditional knowledge, community action, and environmental governance. Through two complementary programmes, we work to protect the living world in its entirety — from the ecosystems that sustain it to the communities that understand it best, and from the pollution that threatens it to the systems that can reverse that threat.

The Expedition is under the Patronage of the French National Comission for Unesco
The French National Commission for UNESCO, recognizing its ability to connect science and culture, education and diplomacy, youth and decision-makers.
