Giving Wings to Environment, with Science
Meet our team
The association functions thanks to its members who have been involved for years, and whom we present to you on this page, but also thanks to the support of all the volunteers who assist us punctually. Because beyond this permanent team, a vast community of volunteer pilots has been formed, who for instance offer flight hours or working hours for relevant projects that protect the environment, everywhere on Earth. These wonderful people do not appear on this page, but we sincerely thank them all!
