Together with a Thailand-based Raya Divers Living Colours has put conservation of the oceans on top of their list of priorities and at first we'll concentrate on preserving the coral reefs all over the world.
Living Colours and Raya have given their support to project EDGE coordinated by Zoological Society of London. The title EDGE comes from ”Evolutionary Distinct and Globally Endangered” and the project aims to secure a future for evolutionary unique and at the same time globally endangered coral species. EDGE has several objects for conservation and securing the future of coral reefs is one of them.
The reason why we chose to support EDGE is, that it's very hands-on. Only concrete actions will bring concrete results! For example EDGE trains and financially supports leaders of conservation projects worldwide.
EDGE also arranges an annual training seminar concerning scuba diving, research and conservation. Conservationists from all over the world, for example Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines have taken part in this training. These countries are located in the area of so-called coral triangle, where there still are considerably vast areas of flourishing coral reefs and where preservation is extremely important.
