Destruction for the Olympics

 
 

France, the Host of the 2024 Olympics is bulldozing pristine coral reefs in Tahiti to make space for a new judging tower for surfing.

This destructive project must be stopped, NOW -- and together, we can make it happen.

Tell the Hosts of Paris Olympics 2024: Abandon your plan for a new judging tower and protect the coral reefs!

John,

French officials are actively destroying coral reefs in Tahiti -- and all to build a fancy, new air-conditioned judging tower for the 2024 Paris Olympics Surfing Competition. The French Minister for Sports and the President of the Organising Committee for Paris Olympics 2024 refuse to stray off their path -- for now.

Already, local organizers together with pro surfers and marine activists succeeded to push for a construction pause -- but with constructions about to continue again, they're running out of time. That’s where the Ekō-Community can help and strengthen the push for a complete halt on the tower construction.

As a global community of millions, we can show the organisers of the Paris Olympics that the whole world is against their destructive plans! Will you join us in protecting Tahiti’s precious reefs?

Tell the Hosts of Paris Olympics 2024: Don’t build a new judging tower!

For decades, surfers have been using a wooden tower to judge competitions -- using the same foundation every time.

The new judging tower is planned to be positioned right on top of the reefs in Teahupo’o, decked out with toilets, air conditioning and everything fancy for the organisers’ comfort. But, this is a death sentence for the corals and marine environment.

As a global community of millions, we have the power to protect our planet from greed for prestige and profit. Together we have saved vast lands of rainforests. Today, we can protect our oceans and protect the beautiful strips of coral reefs in Tahiti. Are you in?

Tell the Hosts of Paris Olympics 2024: Abandon your plan for a new judging tower and protect the coral reefs!

Thanks for all that you do,
Ildem and the team at Ekō
