Description: Pala Dalik marked its 10th anniversary by setting up a mobile exhibition focused on New Caledonia’s coral reefs, aiming to raise awareness and foster conservation efforts for these ecosystems. The initiative integrated innovative educational tools with established methods, targeting diverse audiences through cultural, environmental, scientific, and educational events across the territory. The exhibition showcased at 26 events, attracted approximately 2,000 attendees, with 500 participants surveyed through questionnaires. Notably, among 673 visitors at 10 local community events, there was an observed 80.6% knowledge increase regarding coral reefs post-exhibition. Similarly, 865 students from 10 school events exhibited a 75% increase in understanding, while 303 individuals from towns and villages demonstrated a significant 72.5% improvement following six events. This outreach underscored the project’s effectiveness in cultivating a deeper comprehension and engagement with coral reef conservation, influencing various demographics and promoting environmentally-conscious behaviours, thereby leaving a tangible impact on preserving these vital marine ecosystems.
