John,

The world’s coral reefs are speeding towards a catastrophic mass die-off –
this year! – threatening to push octopus, sea turtles and stunning
tropical fish one step closer to extinction.

A fearless team of Kenyan fisherwomen is doing everything they can to stop
this: they’re up at the crack of dawn every day to patrol their marine
conservation, removing fishing nets, restoring coral reefs and mangroves,
and keeping octopus nesting sites intact.

Marine life there is starting to recover – but these women are operating
on a shoestring budget and need cash fast to buy enough boats and hire
more rangers before it’s too late to save their local reefs.

With a mass coral die-off event looming, every $1 you
donate now will help their urgent work to prevent a local environmental
and economic disaster.

Coral reefs are home to over a million species…that’s a QUARTER of all
marine life! Without them, these creatures will be pushed to the brink of
extinction – and coastal communities would be left dangerously unprotected
from the worst effects of the climate crisis. 

But it’s no wonder scientists are warning of a mass die-off event this
year. Sea temperatures are rising faster than ever, illegal overfishing is
booming and there’s little attention given by most governments or
corporations to protect oceans or marine life.

This couldn’t be worse for coastal communities like this one in Lamu,
Kenya, who depend on fishing and healthy coastlines to survive.

That’s why they’re racing to take matters into their own hands to save
local reefs and keep the planet a liveable place for us all. And they’re
not stopping there! They’re also replanting mangrove forests and teaching
others how to better protect coastlines to keep local communities safe
from storms caused by the climate crisis. 

John, we need dedicated community leaders like these women if
we’re going to have any chance of saving ocean life and securing a future
for coastal communities. 

Right now, we’re the ones who can help – can you chip in?
