Support Reef-World’s Mission to Protect Coral Reefs with the Big Give Christmas Challenge
The Reef-World Foundation – international coordinator of the UN Environment Programme's Green Fins initiative – has been selected to join the Big Give Christmas Challenge.
Double your donation to The Reef-World Foundation in the Big Give’s Christmas Challenge. The charity is taking part in the Christmas Challenge to raise £4,000 in just 1 week. These funds will support raising awareness, building capacity and empowering coral reef-dependent communities to actively engage in conservation efforts.
In the Christmas Challenge, every pound donated will be doubled to charities who are striving to positively impact lives across a wide range of cause areas from climate change, to emergency relief efforts, health, education and many more.
Reef-World’s campaign addresses the urgent need to protect the world’s coral reefs. These precious ecosystems support extraordinary biodiversity and millions of livelihoods, but are severely threatened by climate change, pollution, overfishing, coastal development and destructive practices. These factors lead to coral bleaching, habitat destruction and loss of marine species. Harmful practices such as irresponsible tourism often occur due to a lack of education and awareness on how to behave responsibly around coral reefs.
Donations to Reef-World will be generously matched by the Big Give Champion during the campaign, meaning your money can create double the impact.
“The Big Give Christmas Campaign is a golden opportunity for people to make double the difference for coral reefs with one donation. This is a critical time for coral reefs, we are at risk of losing them forever, but there is still time to act and the time is now!” said Naomi McClure, Development Manager at The Reef-World Foundation. “Make this festive season that much more special by knowing you’ve done your bit to ensure our planet stays healthy for everyone’s future.”
