Our Great Barrier Reef is under threat, and we need your help
Our planet has lost half its coral reefs since the 1950’s. Climate change is the biggest threat to the survival of the Great Barrier Reef and coral reefs around the world. Warmer temperatures are triggering mass coral bleaching events, disrupting food supplies and breeding cycles, and threatening entire ecosystems.
It’s not too late to protect coral reefs and the marine life that calls them home, but our window to act is closing. That’s why at the Great Barrier Reef Foundation, we’ve built a collaborative organisation to raise funds, invest in innovative ideas and design real-world, scalable conservation programs.
Our progress is unprecedented, but the job is not done.
Over the next decade, we will create a lifeline for coral reefs by protecting critical ocean habitats, restoring coral reefs and helping them adapt to climate change.
With your help, we can all have healthy coral reefs in our future.
Our Work
The Foundation leads the Reef Trust Partnership, with Government, Traditional Owners, community, scientists and reef managers to accelerate the work by many for the benefit of the Reef. It brings us all together in one of the most exciting and important collective efforts of our time.
Central to our vision is the Reef Restoration and Adaptation Program, the world’s largest and most ambitious effort by leading science organisations to develop, scale up and deploy existing and new interventions and technologies to ensure coral reefs globally can resist, adapt to, and recover from the impacts of climate change.
Reef Recovery 2030 is our decade plan to turn the tide on coral reef decline globally.
“The science is clearly telling us what needs to be done if we are to secure this magnificent underwater world. Doing nothing is unthinkable and falling short is not an option. That’s why we need your support.”
