Restoring the Great Barrier Reef

My story of hopefulness is the Barrier Reef Foundation. I had the chance to interview Peter Mumbi, who's one of the chief scientists there. He confirmed that the reef has lost more than 50% of its coral since 1995. The issue of the seas warming up and coral bleaching is a huge problem and perhaps one of the more visible symbols of climate change.

When I spoke with Peter, he talked about a program planting more than 100,000 corals off Port Douglas, together with significant restorative activity on Raine Island, which is the largest green turtle nesting site. This is an organization that is truly walking the walk.
