Who are we?

The Explorers establishes an unprecedented inventory to archive and to transmit the diversity of an exceptional natural area whose strength relies on the emotion that generates its beauty. Part of a global project, this modern-day expedition mobilizes our century’s skills and technologies to contribute to the preservation of our common heritage. In the wake of this adventure, The Explorers strengthens its ambition with the non-profit The Explorers Foundation.

Thanks to the mobolization of the private sector, to general public and to associations and institutional partners, The Explorers Foundation supports qualified and recognised actors on the ground, and allows them to carry out concrete actions in favour of our natural, cultural and human heritage.

The Explorers Foundation’s mission is also to raise awareness to the challenges and issues of the preservation of this heritage, and to share, to enhance and to highlight the daily actions conducted on the field by the actors it supports.
