N° 02 · The network
Eight places. Seven coastlines.
N° 03 · Conservation
Whale monitoring along the southern coast of Brazil.
Praia do Rosa · Partner brief in development
Southern right whales return to this coast each winter. Researchers photograph and catalog individual whales, record sightings, and watch the sheltered water used by mothers and calves.
KŌLVA is building a direct conservation partner model around the places in the network. The work remains local. Member support will go to the people doing it.
