Céline Cousteau's Biography

Céline Cousteau is an environmental activist, international speaker, documentary filmmaker, facilitator, and author committed to sharing the vital message of interconnectivity between humans and the natural world. With a degree in Psychology and a Masters in Intercultural Relations, Céline weaves storytelling and experiential practices to help people reconnect to self, community, and Nature.

Founder of CauseCentric Productions, Céline creates impactful, cause-focused content including her feature film, Tribes on the Edge, made at the request of the Indigenous Peoples of the Vale do Javari in the Brazilian Amazon. Catalyzed by the film, Céline co-founded The Javari Project, a for-purpose organization that implements tangible actions for the Indigenous Peoples of the Javari.

Fluent in three languages, Céline’s career has taken her around the globe to the United Nations and the World Economic Forum, to corporate events and universities, and in retreats, workshops, and television programs. Her new podcast Interconnected (in development) will bring the voices of today’s leaders in diverse fields ranging from neuroscience and climatology, from business to music, to entertainment and wellness, focusing on an interconnected approach and mindset to today’s most pressing questions and the part we play in the answers.

In 2025-2026, Céline will join an incredible expedition that will map the length of the Amazon River from a newly discovered spring in Peru, to the Atlantic Ocean : Amazon River: From Ice to Sea.

Céline sits on the board of directors of the National Aquarium in Baltimore, USA – the first in the nation to plan the move of their dolphins to an ocean sanctuary. Her first book, Le monde après monde grand-père is published by Editions Fayard.

Inspired and Connected- People and the Natural World

Socio-environmental speaker Céline Cousteau travels the world, documenting the interconnection of nature and humans. From the jungles of the Amazon to remote islands near the Arctic, people have always maintained strong connections with the natural world around them. Through film, photo, and voice Céline reveals how our cultures and the plants and animals that surround us are all interconnected, illustrating the undeniable connection between the health of the environment and the survival of us all.

The Women of my Family- three generations breaking barriers

Céline Cousteau comes from an iconic family yet the story of the women is rarely told. Like an iceberg, if we only pay attention to the 10% that is above the water, we are missing out on a whole picture. Through Céline’s own experiences, alongside that of her grandmother’s and mother’s, discover three generations and a lineage of 70 years of female explorers as Céline brings you on a very personal voyage of what it is to be a woman in the field.

Transformational Activism

Most of us have heard about transformational leadership; Céline now applies this concept to an entirely different and essential field - activists, advocates, people who are passionate or defend a cause, or lead with the heart. Weaving storytelling and experiential practices, Céline takes us through a vulnerable journey of how beliefs and values have impacted her work and sense of self. You will explore how your belief system and values have shaped how you relate to the world and to others. The journey begins within each of you.
