MSC Foundation Supports Coral Conservation Efforts
The MSC Foundation is backing critical new research from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List which revealed that 44 percent of reef-building coral species are at risk of extinction, according to a press release.
Presented at the COP29 UN climate conference in Baku, Azerbaijan, the study highlights a pressing threat to coral ecosystems. MSC Foundation Executive Director Daniela Picco joined IUCN Deputy Director General Stewart Maginnis and others at the Global Corals Update to discuss the Foundation’s commitment to incorporating these findings into its conservation and grant-making efforts.
