Join us for a talk with the crew of Captain Darwin, a French sailing vessel on a bold, four-year global expedition retracing Charles Darwin’s historic journey aboard the HMS Beagle. The team has been documenting changes in global biodiversity—navigating coral reefs in French Polynesia, the icefields of Patagonia, and the unique ecosystems of the Galápagos Islands.

Fresh from their New Zealand mission relocating kiwi from Rotoroa to Motutapu they’re ready to share their stories. Explorer and captain Victor Rault will offer insights from their voyage, reflections on conservation in the 21st century and tales of resilience and change from the natural world.

This is an inspiring opportunity to hear firsthand from a crew living at the intersection of exploration and environmental action.

Four years into their expedition, this international team is documenting changes in global biodiversity—sailing through French Polynesia’s reefs, Patagonia’s icefields, and the Galápagos Islands’ unique habitats.

Now docked in New Zealand, they’re partnering on a kiwi translocation effort from Rotoroa to Motutapu. Explorer and captain, Victor Rault, will share insights from their journey, stories of resilience and change in the natural world, and reflections on conservation in the 21st century. This is an inspiring opportunity for anyone passionate about nature, science, and global collaboration.
