Coral Guardian is an international non-profit organization committed to protecting and restoring coral ecosystems worldwide. We partner closely with local communities to conserve marine biodiversity and promote the sustainable management of oceans. Since 2015, we have established and co-managed a marine protected area in Indonesia, and in 2020, expanded our participatory conservation model to Spain. Our initiatives combine hands-on coral restoration, scientific research, and environmental education programs to raise awareness about the critical importance of coral reefs and healthy marine ecosystems. By sharing our knowledge and field-based expertise, we aim to replicate our community-led approach globally, ensuring both social and environmental impact. Coral Guardian works to empower coastal communities, restore marine habitats, and foster global appreciation for ocean conservation, helping combat the ecological crises threatening coral reefs and marine biodiversity today.
