In partnership with the Coral Restoration Foundation (CRF), the watch company presented the Oris Staghorn Restoration Limited Edition in Key Largo, Florida. The brand had invited a number of journalists so they could discover how the two entities actively work to re-establish coral reefs.
During the past 40 years, some countries have lost up to 90% of their reefs, while those present in the oceans are threatened by bleaching, overfishing as well as tourism-related pressures. The Coral Restoration Foundation is actively engaged in a process of restoring the world’s coral reefs, which represent our planet’s second “set of lungs”. Convinced that each individual can work in their own way to alleviate the threats of climate change, this foundation organises programmes dedicated to educating, volunteering and training on the safeguarding and restoration of reefs. In 2015, it planted more than 22,500 new corals in the Keys archipelago (Florida) thanks to its participatory programmes. Over the next three years, it plans to reimplant 50,000 additional corals in eight reefs in the south of the American state, an unprecedented feat of restoration.
