Restoring and protecting coral reefs with REEFolution
Restoring and protecting coral reefs with REEFolution
Our oceans are approaching a breaking point. Coral reefs, Earth's underwater rainforests, are vanishing before our eyes. With 95% at risk of extinction by 2050, these vibrant ecosystems could disappear within our lifetime. In 2024, extreme ocean temperatures killed over 70% of Kenya's corals. Even restored ones couldn't survive the heat. REEFolution refuses to give up. Powered by science and local communities, they are rebuilding Kenya’s marine ecosystem one coral at a time before it's too late.
