Proceeds from this book, outlining the story of two Australian volunteers (John Read and Katherine Moseby) who visited Tetepare and helped locals save the island from logging, go towards conservation programs on the island.
Gifts of rain-jackets and snorkel gear (including fins) for our rangers, marine monitors and drivers are always extremely welcome. Basic first aid equipment for staff and other equipment such as binoculars, laptops, GPS and tools are always in short supply. Whilst always adhering to national and international border and customs regulations, our eco-lodge team would be grateful if you could bring some herbs, spices and lentils to the island, as our team of cooks are always keen to experiment with new tastes and flavours. Custom-approved vegetable seeds are gratefully received by women in the village as they grow almost all of their own food.
If you would like to make a personal gift to a specific individual whilst on the island, please be sure to make this clear to the recipient and to the Conservation or Eco-lodge Managers that the gift is intended for a particular individual.
If you would like to discuss other ways to support our work, please contact our conservation team via email: [email protected] or TDA patrons John Read and Katherine Moseby: [email protected]
