Thanks to Radio1 for publishing this weekend an article that summarizes part of our work on the bottlenose dolphins of Rangiroa: https://www.radio1.pf/limpact-des-plongeurs-sur-les-dauphins-de-rangiroa-passe-au-crible/ We discuss in particular the impact of scuba diving tourism on dolphin behavior and certain risks associated with repeated close interactions between dolphins and humans in the wild.
How to reconcile tourist activities targeting emblematic animals, ethics, and the long-term well-being of wildlife?
Everything remains to be built!
