MEANS AND METHODS

A t a pace of two per year, for 4 to 8 weeks, the Lost Worlds expeditions will gather naturalist scientists of international calibre and will be led by specialists of challenging environments. Two expeditions a year, lasting 4 to 8 weeks, will gather 10 to 20 naturalist scientists of international calibre and will be led by specialists of rough environments

For each campaign, innovative tools for exploration, communication and research will be developed and put into use in order to boost the efficiency of the researchers' work and to limit impacts on natural environments and local populations.
The Lost Worlds project aims to be a cluster of expertise and a creative platform for biodiversity research, as well as for the conservation of both natural ecosystems and archaeological world heritage sites.

To meet these targets, we gather the best scientists into small and light field teams of maximum 10 to 20 scientists. Strongly experienced, efficient and autonomous in order to increase the mobility and efficiency of the expeditions, the researchers will have the task to collect a maximum of samples in their family, and no more solely in their genus.

This outstanding international team of biologists and archaeologists will be assisted by adventurers of all walks of life – climbers, divers, etc. – and will use innovative technical means to explore and study the last lost worlds.
