The "KÖrallenriff"
Biodiversity with the “KÖrallenriff“ coral reef
KÖrallenriff Update - Working Together for Greater Underwater Biodiversity 🪸
One coral for every employee, that’s our promise with the KÖrallenriff initiative.
Our shared reef in the Indian Ocean continues to thrive. The corals are showing a good survival rate and healthy growth. In addition, the restoration area has been expanded with
additional reef structures surrounding the Kömmerling logo. The reef already provides a new habitat for numerous marine creatures. More and more reef fish and other marine organisms are using the created structures as habitat. Through regular inspections, the team at The Coral Planters monitors the health of the corals, their growth, and the return of biodiversity.
With every newly planted coral, we make a direct contribution to the restoration of damaged coral reefs. Together, we promote marine biodiversity and create valuable long-term habitat for countless marine species. In this way, we are moving closer, step by step, to our goal of a resilient and healthy reef ecosystem.
The beautiful waters off the coast of Mozambique, located within a marine protected area, offer perfect conditions for our project with The Coral Planters. Thanks to the ideal living conditions for corals, we can finally continue to bring our vision to life here. Mozambique is already home to 35% of the Indian Ocean’s coral reef area and accounts for 4% of the world’s reefs.
The foundation "Kömmerling Better World Stiftung" has collaborated with The Coral Planters launching an ambitious project that not only protects the environment, but also makes a significant contribution to preserving biodiversity.
Coral reefs are not only breathtaking underwater landscapes, but also essential habitats and protected areas for a variety of marine animals. They show remarkable biodiversity comparable to that of rainforests. Although coral reefs only cover a small area of the Earth's surface, they are home to about 30 % of marine species. Without drastic countermeasures, 90% of the reefs will be lost by 2050. An extinction would have devastating ecological, economic and social impacts.
The Kömmerling logo symbolizes sun, sea and a circular value creation cycle. The construction of the coral reef in the shape of the logo is intended not only to emphasize the importance of coral reefs, but also to set a visible signal for the protection of marine diversity.
The partnership with The Coral Planters
The collaboration with The Coral Planters ensures expert implementation and care of the coral reef. The Coral Planters is an organization passionate about ensuring the survival of coral reefs. Without significant human action, corals could disappear from the earth by 2050. The Coral Planters' work focuses on three main areas: coral restoration, scientific innovation and public awareness.
The foundation "Kömmerling Better World Stiftung" and The Coral Planters are determined to work together to combat the impending extinction of coral reefs and thus set an example for the future of our planet
We invite everyone to join us in protecting and restoring vital coral reef ecosystems.
