An Entity of Type: agent, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Manta Trust is a UK-based charity that was formed in 2011 to co-ordinate global research and conservation efforts for manta rays, their close relatives and their habitat. As charismatic megafauna, manta rays act as a flagship species, helping to promote and engage the general public in the wider message of marine ecosystem conservation. Through this top down approach to conservation the manta ray becomes the catalyst for change, engaging and motivating the general public, governments and local communities alike.

dbo:abstract
  • Le Manta Trust est un organisme de bienfaisance basé au Royaume-Uni qui a été créé en 2011 afin de coordonner les travaux de recherche et les efforts de conservation sur les raies mantas, leurs apparentés et leur habitat. En tant que membre charismatique de la mégafaune, les raies mantas peuvent agir comme une espèce phare, en aidant à promouvoir et à mobiliser le public sur un message plus large de conservation des écosystèmes marins. Grâce à cette démarche pour la conservation, la raie manta, devient le catalyseur du changement, concourant à impliquer et motiver le grand public, les gouvernements locaux et les communautés. Le Manta Trust, organisation non gouvernementale basée au Royaume-Uni, rassemble un certain nombre de projets à travers le monde, plus ou moins récemment mis en place, dans des pays comme la République des Maldives, le Sri Lanka, le Mexique et l'Indonésie. En agissant à long terme, le Manta Trust dispose d'études solides sur les populations de raies mantas dans ces régions, et a pour objectif de construire des bases solides de connaissances sur lesquelles les gouvernements, les ONG et les défenseurs de l'environnement peuvent prendre des décisions éclairées et efficaces pour assurer la survie à long terme de ces animaux et de leur habitat. Le programme de la BBC News Protecting the fragile manta rays of the Maldives décrit le travail du Manta Trust dans les Maldives. (fr)

A UK Registered Charity, the Trust brings together a number of projects from around the globe, both new and long-standing, including the Republic of Maldives, Sri Lanka, Mexico and Indonesia. By conducting long-term, robust studies into manta populations in these locations, the trust aims to build the solid foundations upon which Governments, NGOs and conservationists can make informed and effective decisions to ensure the long-term survival of these animals and their habitat. The BBC News program "Protecting the fragile manta rays of the Maldives" profiles Manta Trust's conservation efforts in the Maldives. (en)
