Australia experiences its worst bleaching episode in human history
75% of the Great Barrier Reef is in danger. According to recent reports, 40% of this natural wonder is in an “extreme” state due to warm surface waters. Global warming continues to affect our marine ecosystem, now affecting 450 species of coral, including those that had previously resisted.
Back in March, we reported on a major bleaching episode. These phenomena are only repeating themselves. The Great Barrier Reef is home to over 1/4 of marine biodiversity, directly threatened by its loss.
🔬 Scientists have solutions. Among the projects supported thanks to your donations, let’s highlight two incredible innovations dedicated to coral preservation:
🔹 The Yaf Keru project will scientifically monitor the environmental, economic and social impacts of coral reef restoration.
🔹 The Reef Reborn team has developed a lipid cocktail to boost coral larvae and optimize their chances of survival at the most crucial time in their development. A project on the Great Barrier Reef with spectacular results!
⚠️ These programs explore innovative reef restoration techniques, but without action on our part, rising water temperatures will continue to weaken them.
Faced with this crisis, there is only one solution: limit our greenhouse gas emissions. It’s our responsibility to protect our blue planet.
