THE CORAL TRIANGLE BOOK

DESCRIPTION

Take a breathtaking dive into the colorful world of the Coral Triangle, the waters that cradle Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands and Timor-Leste. One of the most mature reef systems in the world, home to 30% of all the world's corals, this magnificent expanse of sea is home to the greatest diversity of coral and fish species on the planet. Underwater photographer Chris Leidy beautifully captures a vision of this wonderland through his lens and conveys the complexities inherent in each singular, fleeting scene, illustrating the life-giving magic of the Coral Triangle.

Comprising the most biodiverse ecosystems on our planet, the oceans are humanity's life support system, processing more carbon dioxide than rainforests. With passionate text by Fabien Cousteau, The Coral Triangle presents the underwater world as a complex realm filled with vibrant life, inviting readers to fall in love with its majesty and inspiring a deeper understanding of the fragility of coral reefs and the unprecedented importance of taking action to protect our oceans.
