Dear Conservancy Supporter,

Because you're someone who appreciates the beauty of nature, I wanted to share an incredible collection of underwater photography with you. These photos are a vivid reminder of what is at risk of being lost unless we act boldly to tackle the dual crises of climate change and loss of plant and animal species.

That's why we've set an ambitious goal to conserve more than 10 percent of the world's ocean area by the end of this decade. It's a bold commitment and an even bolder deadline. But thanks to support from loyal members like you, I'm confident we can get there.

Your support is essential to funding groundbreaking conservation science to protect the most fragile ecosystems on Earth.

Like coral reefs, which are dying off in record numbers in fact, scientists predict that we could lose up to 90 percent of coral reefs by 2050. That's why our marine science teams are working with partners to locate and protect the reefs with the best possible chance at survival.

These "super reefs" are able to withstand warming temperatures and ocean acidification better than others. In addition to prioritizing conservation efforts to safeguard the super reefs, we're also studying why they're more resilient than others with the hope that we can replicate those unique qualities as we work to rebuild what's been lost.

Healthy corals are essential for healthy oceans because more than one quarter of all marine species spend at least some part of their life in coral reefs. To see the complexity of these underwater wonders, explore this collection of ocean photos from around the world.

As you view the photos, I hope you're reminded of why you've chosen to do your part for nature and why we must do everything we can to protect the places we love. Together, we can do even more to safeguard our oceans, marine life and the natural world we all share.

With gratitude,

Signature
