This environmental internship focuses on maintaining ecosystem diversity. Through scientific studies in the field and the implementation of concrete measures, this project aims to create synergy between the different natural environments – mangroves, coral reefs, and rainforest – to maintain the balance of nature and promote its development.
During this international environmental internship focused on biodiversity, students experience professional life supervised by experts in order to promote learning techniques on the one hand and a reconnection with nature on the other.
