An inspiring gathering in the heart of nature led by Camille Toscani and Manon Amiguet. From a young age, Camille Toscani has had a keen interest in wild environments. Naturally, she specialized to become a biologist, studying animal behavior in their natural habitats. After many years in polar regions, her desire to share her knowledge led her to train as a mountain guide and tree climbing educator.
Manon Amiguet, after studying biology and biodiversity management, has had the opportunity to work on various research programs, studying sharks in Polynesia, penguins in the subantarctic islands, Cape gannets in South Africa, and snakes on the islands of Port-Cros and Porquerolles. For the past few years, Manon Amiguet has worked as a naturalist guide for whale watching in the Mediterranean and on Arctic and Antarctic cruises. Also passionate about outdoor sports and the mountains, she has undergone training as a mountain guide and tree climbing educator, which has led her to her current role as a ranger in the Écrins National Park.
