Les fiches Pédago : Corals

Coral reefs are true oases of life! They represent barely 0.2% of the world’s ocean surface and yet one third of the marine species known to date find refuge there. Each of these species is important to the maintenance of the reef.

Through these two game books (one for children and one for parents), discover the different types of coral reefs found in our oceans. Also learn about the threats to these reefs and how to fight and preserve this treasure of biodiversity.

LEs fiches pédago (part ii) : identifying marine turtles

the pedago sheets (PART I) : turtles

Marine turtles have inhabited the seas for 110 million years and have gone through several climatic upheavals. Yet today, turtles are threatened on land and at sea. Where do they live? How to recognize them? How do they reproduce? What is their lifestyle?

You too can go and meet these animals and try to get to know them better and protect them through a game book (one for parents, one for children).
