Nicolas is a scientist and paraglider pilot passionate about climate and biodiversity! It communicates on work in these areas and finds/disseminates concrete and local citizen solutions to create a more sustainable and fairer world!
To do this, he uses his paraglider to gain height and discover the magnificent landscapes and existing ecosystems, alone or accompanied! It is in this context that he created the En l'Air pour la Terre association in 2015 with a new innovative form of communication to share scientific knowledge on these themes: simple and impressive short interviews with specialists in flight, tandem paragliding!
Continuing on, in 2019 he produced a television series “We must save the Alps” which will be broadcast on TF1 and Ushuaia TV with a teaser at the 2019 Cannes festival and participation in the 2020 festival.
After his thesis defended in 2020 on the subjects of access to electricity in rural areas of the African continent, he created his foundation 'RISE - Our World heritage' to push local and global decision-makers to implement solutions that combine local knowledge, science and technology to face climate, biodiversity and social challenges.
He is also an acrobatic paraglider pilot (7th in the 2017 French championship), an ultralight instructor and holder of the tandem paragliding qualification to share his passion!

Your relationship with the mountain?
A space of freedom that allows me to escape and always remain optimistic about these climate and environment issues because we know what we are fighting for when we go back up there!
