About Christos Taklis - Director
Hello, I'm Christos Taklis,
I care deeply about wildlife conservation and believe that science should be something everyone can take part in. My work focuses on involving people from all walks of life in observing, recording, and protecting nature through citizen science.
A Lifelong Commitment to Nature
For over 15 years, I have worked with conservation groups, researchers, and communities across Europe and other Continents to study wildlife and raise awareness about biodiversity. My background in taxonomy and field surveys has taught me that some of the most important contributions to science come from everyday observers who care about the world around them.
Why I Started Merman Conservation Expeditions Ltd
This company was created to offer people a chance to take part in real conservation work. My goal is to make scientific research more accessible and meaningful by blending outdoor exploration with hands-on wildlife observation. Each project is designed to help people connect with nature, learn new skills, and contribute valuable data to help protect the species and habitats we all depend on.
Bridging Adventure and Scientific Inquiry:
As Director, my role is not about holding a title, but about helping build a community of curious, motivated people who want to explore the natural world and protect it.
Our expeditions welcome everyone with an interest in nature, from beginners to experienced naturalists. No matter your background, there is a place for you here. They are real opportunities for hands-on learning, wildlife observation, and meaningful contribution to science. By combining the spirit of exploration with scientific inquiry, we empower individuals to take part in conservation and become active stewards of the environment.
Join the Effort
Merman Conservation Expeditions Ltd is more than just a company. It is a growing network of nature lovers, citizen scientists, and conservation supporters. I invite you to join us on this journey. Together, we can learn more about the natural world and play an active role in protecting it.
Let’s make a real difference, one observation at a time.

The meaning behind the company name
The name Merman comes from two parts. "Mer" means sea and "man" means human. A merman is usually known from myths as a sea-dwelling human figure, but for us, the meaning is symbolic. It reflects the close bond between people and the ocean. We chose this name to express our belief that humans are not separate from nature but deeply connected to it, especially to the marine world.
Merman represents a balance between human presence and the natural environment. It reminds us that conservation is not just about protecting nature from a distance. It is about understanding that we are part of these ecosystems and have a role in their future.
Conservation refers to the careful and sustainable management of natural resources, ecosystems, or cultural heritage to prevent their depletion, degradation, or loss. The goal of conservation is to ensure the long-term viability and health of the environment, biodiversity, and cultural assets. This involves practices and policies aimed at protecting and preserving natural habitats, wildlife, and valuable cultural artifacts. Conservation efforts often address issues such as habitat destruction, pollution, climate change, over-exploitation of resources, and other threats to the well-being of ecosystems. Conservationists work to strike a balance between human needs and the preservation of the environment, recognizing the interconnectedness of ecological systems and the importance of maintaining a healthy planet for current and future generations. Conservation can occur at various levels, including individual, community, national, and global initiatives, and it plays a crucial role in sustaining the Earth's natural diversity and cultural heritage.
Wildlife conservation (which we focus on the company) specifically focuses on the protection, preservation, and management of wild animals and their habitats. The primary objective is to maintain and restore the balance of ecosystems while preventing the extinction of species. Wildlife conservation efforts aim to address various threats to biodiversity, including habitat destruction, pollution, climate change, illegal hunting, and poaching. Conservationists work to implement strategies such as the establishment of protected areas, habitat restoration projects, captive breeding programs, and community-based conservation initiatives. The ultimate goal is to ensure the survival of diverse animal species and the ecosystems they inhabit, contributing to the overall health and stability of the planet. Wildlife conservation is essential not only for the sake of individual species but also for the broader ecological balance and the well-being of human communities that depend on healthy ecosystems for various resources and services.
An expedition refers to a journey, trip, or voyage undertaken for a specific purpose, often involving exploration, research, or the achievement of a particular goal. Expeditions can take place in various environments, such as land, sea, air, or even space, and they are typically organized and planned to gather information, conduct scientific research, explore unknown territories, or accomplish specific tasks. Expeditions may involve a team of individuals, including scientists, researchers, explorers, and support staff, and they often require careful planning, logistics, and sometimes adventurous activities. The term is commonly associated with adventurous and challenging undertakings, and expeditions can range from scientific explorations to mountaineering endeavors, archaeological digs, or deep-sea investigations. The key element is the organized and purposeful journey to achieve a set objective, often in locations that are remote, unfamiliar, or difficult to access.
