Les Longs Courriers is a project dedicated to the love of islands.
Our goal is to reveal the astonishing diversity of islands on our planet…
Kere Island – Bijagos archipelago
Atlas of unsual islands
We decided to go sailing around the world and make documentaries on about thirty unusual islands. We write a report on each island we stop over. Our chronicles are written from our boat Anao, docks or pontoons all around the world.
We also conduct interviews with islanders, personalities and island officials, economic players, NGOs …
Upon our return, we hope to publish an Atlas of unusual islands which will compile all the paperwork gathered during this trip.
Islands & environment
Since we started working on this project, we quickly realized how many environmental challenges islands are facing on a daily basis (pollution, threats to biodiversity, lack of fresh water, energy dependence and difficult management of resources, waste, tourist influx…).
Because islands are our playground and a source of inspiration, we involve ourselves in a more sustainable island world. For our readers, this means discovering assets and ressources of islands, as well as their numerous issues and handicaps.
Another topic that is dear to us: self-sufficiency in remote areas (mainly energy self-sufficiency), because we have to be self-reliant on our sailboat. That is why we want to raise awareness, on our scale, on green energy practices.
