Adoptez un corail x Le Souffle

Become a coral guardian

Coral reefs cover just 0.2% of the ocean, yet they are home to a quarter of all marine biodiversity and protect 150,000 km of coastline across more than 100 countries. They feed, shelter and sustain hundreds of millions of people.

Yet they could disappear by 2050 under the combined pressure of climate change and human activity. Without immediate action, we risk losing these natural treasures forever.

Help us save them, adopt a coral.

For €30 or €45 (before tax deduction), adopt a coral and receive a beautiful personalised adoption certificate!

WHY RESTORE CORAL REEFS?

Biodiversity

The foundation of marine biodiversity

Scientists estimate that coral reefs are home to more than 25% of marine species. Corals are also the foundation on which other ecosystems form.

Coastal protection

Coastal protection.

Reefs cover just 0.2% of the ocean. Yet they protect more than 150,000 kilometres of coastline across over 100 countries and territories. They can form a barrier that absorbs wave energy, helping to reduce coastal erosion.

Food

A food resource

Around 1 billion people live within 100 kilometres of coral reefs and stand to benefit from their ecosystem services. 500 million people depend on them directly. Reefs can yield between 5 and 15 tonnes of fish and shellfish per square kilometre.

Tourism

A source of tourism wealth

Reefs are often a key part of the economy in the tropical regions that host them, attracting divers, free-divers, recreational fishers and lovers of white sandy beaches.

Economy

Economic importance

Millions of people worldwide depend on reefs for their livelihoods. According to one estimate, the total net annual benefit of coral reefs worldwide is $29.8 billion.

Health

A medical future

Coral reefs also contribute to research progress, not least because they offer promising leads for treating a range of diseases.
