The "KÖrallenriff"
Biodiversity with the “KÖrallenriff“ coral reef
Good news: A new home for the KÖrallenriff 💙
The beautiful waters off Mozambique in a marine reserve offer perfect conditions for our project with The Coral Planters. Thanks to the ideal living conditions for corals, we can finally bring our vision to life here. Mozambique already harbours 35% of the Indian Ocean's coral reef area and represents 4% of the world's reefs.
The project, entitled ‘KÖrallenriff’, aims to create a sustainable and independent coral reef in the shape of the Kömmerling logo. The plan was to plant a total of 3,300 corals on an area of around 200 square metres in the Maldives. Together with our partners, we have rethought our strategy due to climate change.
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.
