We believe researchers from developing nations deserve more opportunities and funding.
But this isnāt just a belief ā itās a core commitment and part of the mission we carry out every day.
We walk the talk. And we invite others to join us.
In regions of the Global South, where the impacts of coral loss are often most severe, researchers and coral practitioners need access to tools and resources to design solutions tailored to their local realities.
In this video, Prof. Carlos Duarte, CORDAPās Executive Director and a global leader in ocean science, introduces the Coral Local Impact Program (CLIP), an initiative created by CORDAP specifically to support researchers from the Global South.
And thereās more to come.
Later this year, weāll launch an Entrepreneurship Program to bring existing companies with relevant capabilities into the coral conservation and restoration space.
Whether you're a scientist, a practitioner, an entrepreneur ā or simply passionate about corals ā we need your support.
We need all hands on deck to rewrite the future of corals and reefs worldwide.
