Working to save islands and coral reefs from climate change

IEF member Austin Bowden-Kerby in Fiji has worked for many decades to address the problems of coral reefs and the small islands that depend on them. He has pioneered techniques for restoring damaged coral reefs by growing coral fragments to a size where they can be replanted on the reefs, just as trees are used for reforestation, as long as the source of damage has been controlled.

This represents a significant step forward in taking national statistics beyond GDP as a measure of progress or (assumed) wellbeing.
