From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ralph Taaviri (14 October 1954[1] – 29 April 2023)[2] was a French Polynesian trade unionist, independence activist and environmentalist. He was an activist in the Tāvini Huiraʻatira party[3] and a co-founder of environmental NGO Faatura te rahu a te Atua.[4]

Taaviri was from Papeari.[5]

In 1995, following the resumption of nuclear testing by French colonial authorities, he was one of a number of trade unionists abducted and tortured by French police.[1]

He died after falling while hunting in the Punaruu valley in April 2023.[3][5]
