What scientists call the tipping point: the moment when reefs, threatened by global warming, pollution and overfishing, can no longer regenerate naturally.
Faced with these findings, the same questions keep coming up: Why is this so important? Can we still save them? And above all, what can we do, at our level?
We hear these questions every day. They reflect both growing concern and a tremendous surge of hope. For although coral reefs cover barely 0.2% of the oceans, they are home to more than 25% of marine life and provide food security, coastal protection and livelihoods for millions of people around the world.
For more than ten years, Coral Guardian has been working to prove that there is still time to reverse the trend. In Indonesia, Spain, Kenya and elsewhere, local communities are restoring degraded reefs every day. Corals are growing back, biodiversity is returning, life is resuming. These successes are proof that restoration is possible, if it is collective and participatory.
We hope that these pages will spark your curiosity, strengthen your connection to the ocean, and above all, inspire you to take action: whether by adopting a coral, sharing our messages, or simply changing your habits.
