Morocco's Wildlife is Disappearing

We are working to protect it

Educate, Inspire, Protect

An online encyclopedia to showcase Morocco’s incredible wildlife, highlight the threats it faces, and above all, help protect it.

The Encyclopedia

One species at a time, we aim to spark change in the conservation of Morocco’s wildlife by helping shift mindsets and fostering greater appreciation for often-overlooked species, starting with reptiles and amphibians.

Field Photography
Step 1

Finding the species in Morocco

We travel across Morocco's diverse ecosystems looking for the reptiles and amphibians we document for our encyclopedia.

Encyclopedia
Step 2

Photographing the species on the spot

By photographing wildlife in a consistent manner, we are building an image bank that forms the visual backbone of a unified encyclopedia.

Step 3

Creating the species accounts of the encyclopedia

Once the species fact sheets have been written using our images and the available scientific sources, we gradually publish the encyclopedia pages online.

3 Friends, 1 Mission

To protect Morocco's threatened wildlife by making it visible, valued, and impossible to ignore. Through rich documentation, storytelling, and education, we turn curiosity into conservation.

Who are we?

Rayane, Colin, and Clément. A photographer, a biologist, and a "Swiss knife." One Moroccan, two Swiss. Different skills, one passion: Morocco's wildlife.

Why do we do this?

Because most people don't know what's out there, and what stays unseen often stays unprotected. Morocco's wildlife is disappearing in silence, and we believe that by shining light upon it we can make things change.

What do we do?

We are creating a living, visual encyclopedia of Moroccan wildlife. Scientifically rigorous, focused on conservation, and accessible to all. Our mission: to get people interested and help them understand the urgent need to protect this endangered biodiversity.

What we achieved so far

Real investment, real commitment, encouraging results

We have led three self-funded expeditions across Morocco. These missions allowed us to test the viability of our project and to refine our methods, before returning home with valuable results and encouraging feedback.

Now, to keep the momentum going and finish our project, we need your support. Together, we can ensure these expeditions continue and that Moroccan wildlife gets the spotlight and protection it deserves.

Our Expeditions

Each expedition brings us closer to our goal. Our next one is the most ambitious yet: 2 months in the field, but we need help to make it happen.

2025-2026

Tests Expeditions

Off to a good start

We conducted three expeditions to test our approach, refine our methodology, and build a strong foundation for the project. These missions allowed us to document over 50 species, validate our concept, and form key connections to help bring the project to life.

April 2024 - First test expedition (15 days)
Feasibility study & pilot creation in southern Morocco
Summer 2024 - Second test expedition (30 days)
Key progress throughout the Atlas, Anti-Atlas and Sahara regions
December 2024 - Third test expedition (15 days)
Targeting amphibians during the breeding season in northern Morocco
Août-Septembre 2025

Next Expedition

Our most important mission

The expedition is ready, but we had to buy a replacement to our damaged vehicle and need to complete the payment before departure on August 12th!

This expedition of 60 days in the field will allow us to document up to 100 new species, marking a decisive turning point in our project with the goal of achieving 75% completion of our encyclopedia.
