Mark Wyner Won’t Comply 

With all of the horrible things happening in the world, it’s nice to find the wins. Especially in the area of our environment. A group called Coral Guardian is restoring coral reefs, and it’s quite magnificent.

These photos represent 7 years of work on the Indonesia’s Hatamin Island. In this they have increased the fish population by 5x with 53k corals restored.

More wins like this, please.

@markwyner Good news! In Bonaire, there is a huge movement of coral nurseries. They're all over the place, some types that look like antlers, others that look like brain, and they pin them to big wire grids so they can grow and then plant them down when they're big enough. It's already making a difference there too. That and the lionfish hunters are helping nature get some strength back. Watched it for about 10 years and it makes a difference.

@markwyner I searched for an article where the transplantation process was explained in detail and I found one from India.
For everyone interested: https://india.mongabay.com/2021/08/coral-transplantation-helps-but-not-the-only-solution/
Coral transplantation helps, but not the only solution

India has five different regions where coral reefs are found. All carry out coral transplantation projects in varied capacities.

This is great. Watching the seemingly unstoppable destruction of the living world sometimes becomes very depressing and frustrating. Things like this bring a small glimmer of hope.

Thank you for showing this! I have been feeling so low about wildlife and the environment, it feels like it's all is in a downward spiral. Seeing this restoration project is really encouraging, if people put their mind to it miracles can happen. It's just a matter of overcoming the negative propaganda from the fossil fuel industry, they nearly always have a hand in destruction of one sort or another. Seeing this coral reef does give hope.
