Coral Triangle

Projects

WWF’s way of conserving the planet’s natural resources combines our unmatched global reach with a foundation in science, it involves action at every level – from local to global – and it ensures the delivery of innovative solutions that meet the needs of both people and nature.

WWF is working at all levels—from the individual fisherman to multinational companies and across international borders—to focus on six key areas that present the best opportunities to solve the challenges facing the Coral Triangle.

By enhancing the impact of our national marine programs in the region, we intend to promote sustainable development and reduce the environmental footprint of governments and industry. We plan to reach the following targets by 2020:

Coral Reefs: 50 percent increase in area of priority coral reef habitats that is protected and sustainably managed with effective financing in place
Species: Zero decline in the populations of three endangered marine turtle species (leatherback, hawksbill, green) from 2008 levels
Transforming business: Halting and reversing the degradation of key marine resources - coral reef habitats, turtles, reef fish, and tuna

Actions for on-the-ground conservation efforts and sustainable resource management will focus on existing WWF project sites in the Sulu-Sulawesi, Banda Flores Marine, Bismarck Solomon Seas and Fiji Island Marine ecoregions.
