Today, this is what many coral reefs look like
This vision of desolation is a coral graveyard. Due to pollution, climate change, and human activity, most coral reefs are dying. Globally, this represents approximately 29% of seagrass meadows, 35% of mangrove forests, and 50% of coral reefs that have disappeared since the last century.
Yet, coral reefs are essential!
High Biodiversity Hub
Coral reefs are often referred to as the "tropical forests of the sea" due to their incredible biological diversity. They house approximately 25% of all marine species, providing habitat, food, and protection to a variety of marine organisms.
Coastal Protection
Coral reefs and their complex structure play a protective role against coastal impacts from waves, storms, and predators. They dissipate wave energy, reduce erosion, and protect coastal ecosystems.
CO2 Reduction
Coral reefs play a role in the carbon cycle by absorbing carbon dioxide during the formation of their calcium carbonate skeleton, thus contributing to reducing CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere.
This is where Koraï comes in. Its mission: to regenerate marine ecosystems
Koraï involves the private sector in the fight against marine biodiversity loss. By enabling businesses to engage in marine ecosystem regeneration and assisting them in reducing their impact on biodiversity and carbon footprint, Koraï finances the cultivation of corals and mangroves.
Concretely, here's what Koraï does
Blue Carbon Program
They cultivate mangroves in protected areas and contribute to carbon storage.
Biodiversity Program
They cultivate more resilient coral species in protected marine areas to restore biodiversity.
Awareness Program
They organize awareness programs for your employees and local communities.
At TaleMe, we thought it would be great to create stories on this topic and help Koraï share its important message.
So, we decided to create a theme that parents and children will love to customize and read together. Most importantly, we want to create a theme that helps understand the importance of protecting biodiversity and marine ecosystems. Mission accomplished, the stories are amazing!
