Delta Electronics Foundation has announced a significant collaboration with the renowned Jane Goodall Institute and the National Museum of Marine Science and Technology (NMMST) aimed at expanding coral restoration education across Taiwan. This initiative, which hinges on the science picture book 'Saving Our Coral Reefs,' is set to be incorporated into the core curriculum of elementary schools nationwide.
The book, produced by the Delta Electronics Foundation, serves as the centerpiece of this educational program. It is designed to engage young minds with vivid illustrations and real-life photographs detailing the vital role coral reefs play in the marine ecosystem, along with the critical threats they face, particularly from climate change.
Dr. Jane Goodall, a globally respected ecologist and conservationist, recently visited the Chaojing Coral Conservation Center in Keelung. This center is a collaborative effort between Delta and the NMMST. During her visit, she participated in the planting of corals, symbolizing a shared commitment to marine conservation. Dr. Goodall emphasized the interconnectedness of all ecosystems, stating, "I'm pleased to see the enterprise in Taiwan actively promoting ocean conservation through education."
Delta's founder, Mr. Bruce Cheng, underscored the company’s longstanding commitment to energy conservation and environmental sustainability. He mentioned that Delta has made notable strides in biodiversity conservation, particularly in the preservation of over 40 species of Taiwanese corals. The goal is to restore 10,000 coral fragments by this summer, leveraging Delta’s technological expertise in support of researchers working in this field.
The integration of 'Saving Our Coral Reefs' into educational programs will include outreach through the Jane Goodall Institute’s Roots and Shoots Program, which aims to engage students and communities worldwide in ecological initiatives. The collaboration is expected to raise awareness about coral ecosystems and motivate broader participation in conservation efforts.
In a further development from this initiative, Dr. Goodall was also invited to a launch event at the new coral culture facility located at the St. John's Island National Marine Laboratory in Singapore. This facility exemplifies a collaborative model between governmental and private organizations, aimed at enhancing coral restoration efforts.
'Saving Our Coral Reefs' effectively combines engaging images with scientific insights from experts involved in Delta's coral restoration endeavors. The book is not only informative but approaches the topic with a friendly and accessible format, ensuring that readers of all ages can appreciate the importance of coral reefs and the ongoing threats they face from human activity and climate change.
Looking towards the future, Delta, the Jane Goodall Institute, and NMMST are dedicated to exploring innovative ways to fuse technology, education, and environmental stewardship, with aspirations to drive sustainable marine ecosystem development. This partnership not only seeks to instill a sense of responsibility towards marine environments among the younger generation but also aims to bolster community involvement in conservation efforts, ultimately shaping a more conscious and environmentally aware society.
