It all begins with an idea.
What is in the library?
Here you will find summaries of published research related to questions posed by residents of Moorea. These were only available in English. They are now in Tahitian. You will also find videos about what scientists in Moorea are studying, along with Tahitian/English transcripts.
However, the knowledge shared here is limited in that it does not include the Polynesian perspective on these topics. It is instead from a Western science perspective which is only one way of seeing the world.
Who is it for?
These can be used by schoolteachers for Tahitian/English language or science education resources in schools.
This website is also intended for community members, local associations, resource managers and anyone interested.
