Pierre Constant

Pierre Constant studied at the University of Pierre and Marie Curie-Paris VI, where he received his degree in Biology-Geology in 1975, followed by a Master's in Geology in 1979. In 1980, he went to Ecuador to work as a naturalist guide on cruise boats around the Galapagos Islands. After two years living on the islands, he returned to France and published his first book: Archipel des Galapagos, and became the recognized French expert on the archipelago. Constant took up submarine photography in 1984 and produced a guide to the fishes, whales, dolphins and marine invertebrates of the islands. His involvement with the ocean became professional when he obtained his diving instructor certification in 1997. He has been a regular visitor to the Galapagos for the past 23 years, leading trips to the islands annually. His comprehensive knowledge and expertise on the Galapagos Islands has been made use of in various travel and active sports television productions, including French television (TF1: Ushuaia) and the Discovery Channel (XL Productions, 1991). Constant has published over 95 articles worldwide in a range of travel, science and diving magazines. He has been a guest lecturer on many occasions including at the Royal Geographic Society in Hong Kong. Pierre is a permanent resident of the Galapagos.
