LONGITUDE 181 NATURE… WHAT IS…

1901 Law Association founded in 2002 by François Sarano and Vincent Ohl.

Its objective is to go to the discovery of nature, to meet people and their traditions. It wants to show the extraordinary biological and cultural diversity of the world so that everyone can benefit, tomorrow, from the wealth of the planet, sustainably and more equitably.

The philosophy of our association as well as its actions are rooted in a tremendous field experience: 40 years of travel, meetings and explorations around the world.

François SARANO (Founding President):

”The life of our association, its freedom of action and expression depend on you.

Offer future generations the wonder of a wild world, the emotion of an encounter with dolphins and whales. ”

Albert Falco, former diver and captain of Calypso was the Honorary President.

AN ETIC CHARTER

Our experience in the field of underwater exploration led us to launch, in February 2002, the INTERNATIONAL CHARTER FOR RESPONSIBLE DIVERS. This charter was adopted by the French Federation of Underwater Studies and Sports (FFESSM), the Swiss CMAS.ch, the CMAS Quebec, the Malaysian federation, and several associations of diving instructors; CEDIP, ANMP, SSI-France, FSGT, SNMP and by UCPA.

FIELD EXPERIENCE TO NOURISH PHILOSOPHY AND ACTION

Explorations and meetings are essential to nurture a living philosophy. Without confrontation with reality, the strength of the association would be petrified in a past, rich but obsolete, incapable of proposing solutions to constantly renewed questions. 

The association encourages the application of the Charter in certain pilot areas, so that these experiences can serve as an example.

Po disseminate its philosophy, it organizes conferences which draw on its expertise.
