Saving the Reef: A Hidden Indonesian Island
I spent 10 days in the remote Ring of Fire, witnessing a volcano erupt, and joined a team from Coral Guardian, a renowned NGO, to save the planet's ecosystems.
Standing waist-deep in warm waters edging Hatamin Island, Indonesia, I cradled a coral fragment, feeling like I was saving the world. This island is a key location for coral restoration.
"It's an important mission, if coral reefs die, marine life lose their habitat, affecting the ocean's biodiversity."
Alen, a passionate educator from Coral Guardian, emphasized the importance of the mission. It took three days to sail to Hatamin Island from Komodo National Park with SeaTrek Sailing Adventures, advocates of environmental responsibility.
Coral Guardian works with local communities worldwide to protect the planet's ecosystems, making this mission crucial for the future of marine life.
