Celine Cousteau

Céline Cousteau was raised on the water, the third generation of a family that turned ocean exploration into a global movement. Granddaughter of Jacques Cousteau and daughter of Jean-Michel Cousteau, she’s built her own path as a documentary filmmaker, explorer, and workshop facilitator, holding degrees in psychology and intercultural relations. Her feature film Tribes on the Edge was made at the direct request of the Indigenous Peoples of the Vale do Javari in the Brazilian Amazon, work she’s continued through The Javari Project, a for-purpose organization protecting their health, livelihoods, and land. Céline has addressed audiences at the United Nations and the World Economic Forum, but her real subject never changes: the interconnection between people, culture, and the natural world, and what we lose when we forget it.
