๐ This World Oceans Day, weโre celebrating coral reefs โ the wild heart of the ocean. ๐ชธ
Though they cover less than 1% of the ocean floor, coral reefs are home to a quarter of all marine life. They provide food, medicines, and a buffer against powerful storm surges for coastal communities.
But these vibrant ecosystems are in crisis โ 50% have already been devastated, largely due to climate change and pollution from industry and development.
The good news is โ coral reefs can be healed!
At Re:wild, we partner with local communities to bring reefs back to life. Through the Island-Ocean Connection Challenge, we support nature-based solutions that restore biodiversity and build resilience across island-ocean ecosystems.
