This photographic work by Martin Colognoli retraces six years of field experience in Indonesia with a fishing village when he piloted for Coral Guardian, the NGO he created in 2012, the implementation of a action program aimed at training villagers in the restoration of coral reefs destroyed by dynamite fishing. This book is intended as a real hymn to the defense of biodiversity and a tribute to coral as an ecosystem essential to our survival. It aims to become a tool for raising awareness of the fragility of living things through a moment of wonder and optimism, a potential beginning of change to come. Born in 1945 in Sydney, Charlie Veron is considered ""the godfather of coral"". An Australian biologist specializing in the study of corals and their reefs, he named approximately 20% of coral reefs and discovered and delineated the Coral Triangle. Charlie Veron is also an environmental activist.
