Meet our Colleague 🙌🏾 Jack Johnson: - ‘After working on coral reefs in the coral triangle, I realized how important coral reefs were to human wellbeing and so wanted to join the red listing effort to conserve these critical architectural species.’ 💥 Jack Johnson, UK.’ Jack Johnson

Meet our Brilliant Colleague 🙌🏾 Walter Dellisanti from Italy and based in HK,sharing his motivation for joining the effort: ⁃’I want to bring my contribute for keeping updated our knowledge on the Red List of Threatened Species of corals.’💥 Walter Dellisanti Walter Dellisanti, PhD 🪸🔬🤿

Fantastic Colleague 🙌🏾 Dr Dan Bayley, UK: ⁃ ’I wanted to help update the Red List of Corals as I’ve seen these amazing ecosystems rapidly deteriorating, so having a science-based and consistent assessment of extinction threat is essential for guiding their future conservation

🙌🏾 Alexander Fordyce from UK, sharing his motivation: “I am volunteering my time because I want to be a part of the international team that provides up-to-date information on threats to coral and coral reefs worldwide, so that we may better conserve these iconic ecosystems” 🤿

🙌🏾 Gregorio E. de la Rosa Jr. from the Philippines,sharing his motivation for joining the effort to Update the Global Extinction Risk of Reef-Building Corals: -”To contribute and collaborate with experts for a better [coral reef] ecosystem for the next generation ”💥👏🏾🙌🏾🤿

” I am 100% committed to coral conservation, ..., it is imperative to evaluate the results of past and current coral conservation alongside scientific studies so WE can have the latest information on the extinction risk of corals and make informed decisions to halt their crisis.”
