Counting Coral is a nonprofit organization dedicated to restoring coral reefs through innovative
methods. They design, donate, and install sculptural coral gene banks—functional underwater artworks
that rehabilitate damaged reefs. These sculptures serve as nurseries for resilient coral species,
promoting biodiversity and aiding reef recovery.
6
HK2_GRADE 12 Teacher: Doãn Nhụ- Phù Cừ High School
In March 2024, Counting Coral unveiled its second Sculptural Coral Gene Bank at Vomo Island
Resort in Fiji. This installation spans 60 feet in diameter and reaches a depth of 18 feet, currently nurturing
over 370 parent corals. The gene bank doubles as an artificial reef and an underwater living art piece,
attracting marine life and divers alike.
The organization addresses critical threats to coral reefs, such as climate change, ocean
acidification, pollution, and coastal development. Rising sea temperatures cause coral bleaching, where
corals expel the symbiotic algae, they rely on, leading to weakened and dying reefs. Ocean acidification
further degrades corals' ability to build their calcium carbonate skeletons. Additionally, pollution from
land-based sources and coastal development smothers coral and reduces water quality.
Counting Coral's approach not only aids in reef restoration but also engages local communities by
creating employment opportunities and raising awareness about marine conservation. By installing these
functional attractions, they divert diver traffic from fragile reefs, increase revenue for local communities,
and strengthen marketing opportunities for partnering organizations. Through their unique blend of art and
conservation, Counting Coral transforms human engagement with coral reef restoration, fostering a future
where coral reefs can thrive as they should.

The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species is one of the most important tools used to monitor the
health of the world’s biodiversity. It was created in 1964 by the International Union for Conservation of
Nature to assess the risk of extinction faced by different species. The list provides valuable information
about plants, animals, and fungi, helping scientists and governments take action to protect them. Species
are categorized based on several factors, such as population size, habitat range, and the rate of decline.
There are several categories, including "Least Concern," for species that face a low risk of extinction, and
"Critically Endangered," for those at high risk. Unfortunately, some species are listed as "Extinct," which
means no living individuals remain.
As of 2023, the IUCN Red List includes over 150,000 species, with more than 42,000 of them
classified as threatened. These species face dangers from human activities, such as deforestation, pollution,
overfishing, and illegal hunting. Climate change is also increasing the risk of extinction for many
species. The list highlights the need to protect biodiversity, which is essential for maintaining healthy
ecosystems and ensuring that humans can benefit from natural resources in the future.
7
HK2_GRADE 12 Teacher: Doãn Nhụ- Phù Cừ High School
[I] The IUCN Red List is regularly updated to reflect changes in species’ status. It relies on the
contributions of thousands of scientists and conservation organizations worldwide. [II] This cooperation
makes the list a reliable source of information for decision-makers, who can use it to create laws and
policies that protect endangered species. [III] By raising awareness about the threats to biodiversity, the
IUCN Red List plays a crucial role in global conservation efforts, encouraging people to take steps to
preserve wildlife and natural habitats for future generations [VI].
