    Building Sustainable Futures
    2024/10/02
    This installment of The Axis Effect features Jolyon Collier, President & Founder at Counting Coral. Global warming has damaged climates all around the world, and Fiji is no exception, where coral falls victim to rising sea temperatures, weakening them and increasing their likelihood of mortality. But the harm goes beyond coral, as the species’ role of housing 25% of all other marine species and their ability to protect coastal communities in Fiji by acting as a natural barrier for tsunamis and erosion demonstrate just how vital coral is to the ecosystem. This is where Counting Coral comes in, whose Gene Bank System project aims to regrow the damaged coral reefs and preserve biodiversity, giving the ecosystems damaged by humanity a second chance. Collier discusses how the company uses their position to spread awareness for protecting ocean life, what drove him to founding Counting Coral, and how his company works to combine their efforts toward ecosystems with opportunities to help orphanages.
