Located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, the Tuamotus is one of the largest archipelagos in French Polynesia. And among its numerous atolls lies the Fakarava, an almost untouched paradise.
As one of its inhabitants describes, coming here feels like “a total escape”.
But with the development of tourism, the atoll faces a challenge. It must find a balance between its desire to show off its beauty to its awed visitors while preserving the ecosystem of this coral garden.
And this is all the more vital since tourism in Fakarava is essentially based on diving.
