SYNI invites you on a journey across the Atlantic Ocean to The Azores, a place that is incredibly significant from a conservation and sustainability perspective. We dive strait into a comprehensive look at the Azores’ distinct character, culture, biodiversity, drawing back the curtain on natural wonders and conservation priorities, highlighted the Blue Azores Programme's Marine Protection Area. We’ll explore how local communities, NGOs, government leaders, and global philanthropic institutions are converging to protect one of the most biologically rich and geologically remarkable regions in the Atlantic. So tune your imagination to the Atlantic breeze, and let’s step onto the lush and lava-sculpted shores of the Azores.
