Actor Jason Momoa Advocates for Urgent Action to Save Coral Reefs from Extinction
Jason Momoa, an actor and UNEP Advocate for Life Below Water, has highlighted the critical state of coral reefs, which are nearing extinction due to global warming and other environmental pressures. According to recent scientific warnings, if global temperatures rise by 1.5C, up to 90% of coral reefs could be lost. This situation is exacerbated by plastic pollution, coastal development, agricultural runoff, and overfishing. Momoa emphasizes the cultural and ecological importance of coral reefs, particularly in Hawai'i, where they are integral to local culture and livelihoods. He calls for immediate action from individuals, communities, and governments to reduce climate footprints, protect critical species, and support reef-positive businesses. The upcoming year is seen as a pivotal moment for coral reef conservation, with global gatherings planned to address these issues.
