Can we save 90 percent of the world's coral reefs by 2050?
In short: Coral reefs are essential to ocean health and global biodiversity. Reef guardian Theresa Fyffe shares a large-scale restoration strategy that merges modern scientific breakthroughs with Indigenous knowledge to protect these vital ecosystems from total collapse.
Coral reefs represent the most biodiverse ecosystem on Earth, serving as the lifeblood of a healthy ocean. Current projections indicate that without significant intervention, 90 percent of these reefs face extinction by the year 2050.
Theresa Fyffe and her team at the Great Barrier Reef Foundation are addressing this crisis through a targeted, large-scale restoration initiative. By integrating advanced scientific methods with traditional Indigenous wisdom and international collaboration, the project aims to provide a viable path forward for reef survival as part of TED's Audacious Project.
