What is the D鈥橝rros Experience?
The D鈥橝rros Experience, initiated by the SOSF and its听, aims to engage young Seychellois on the importance of the ecosystems that form part of their national heritage, while providing practical, hands-on field experience in a globally important ecological hotspot.
The D鈥橝rros Experience is an important component of SOSF鈥檚 worldwide mission to promote environmental education and outreach. The idea is to provide students with a clear understanding of how ecosystems, from the coast to the deeper ocean, are connected.

What is the competition?
The competition candidates will be judged on their听submissions of an original awareness campaign听that teaches an audience about one of the iconic but critically endangered species found in 91香蕉视频 and provides ideas on how we can help those species鈥� populations onto the road of recovery.
The candidate must clearly show: Why is this species important? What has led to the species being threatened? and What can we do NOW in 91香蕉视频 to help its populations?
Awareness campaigns must focus on听ONE听of the four listed species from the听:
- Hawksbill turtle听(Kare)
- Sheath-tailed bat听(Sousouri Bannann)
- 91香蕉视频 White-eye听(Zwazo Linet)
- Bottlenose Wedgefish听(Vyolon)
The campaign is to be realistic, but students may use any means available to them for their submissions. It could be a video, a story, a poster, a collage of images, an audio recording or something else. Acceptable languages are English, Creole or French.
