Why Donate?
This charity is entirely supported by funds raised by the public and through small donations from other organisations. We use these funds in the most efficient manner possible.
100% of funds raised go to supporting our work and helping to protect and conserve coral reefs in the countries we work in.
Our seas and oceans are in a critical state. The world’s coral reefs have declined vastly with Asia losing 40% of its reefs and globally 19% of coral reefs have gone! *
Humans rely on coral reefs for food and livelihood security. They are important sources of medical research and support the largest know biodiversity of anywhere on earth. They help protect coasts from storm waves, support other ecosystems themselves and help to absorb CO2 a well known greenhouse gas. They are the only animal that can be seen from space and it is quickly disappearing.
Your donations go directly towards the running costs of the R-W. This includes travel costs to work with important decision makers ranging from influential community leaders, members of governments and international organisations.
Our staff receive very little financial support for the enormous amount of work they do. This is a non-profit organisation. The marine environment is the only thing that benefits from your funds.
We are extremely grateful for your kind donations.
Thank you.
