The Delta Electronics Foundation is collaborating with the Jane Goodall Institute and the National Museum of Marine Science and Technology (NMMST) to promote coral restoration education in Taiwan.
Using the science picture book Saving Our Coral Reefs, published by the Delta Electronics Foundation, the program will be introduced into elementary schools across Taiwan. Ecologist and conservationist Dr. Jane Goodall planted her first batch of corals in Taiwan at Chaojing Coral Conservation Center in Keelung — a joint effort between the Delta Foundation and NMMST.
”All ecosystems are intricately connected, from land to sea, from corals to humanity,” Dr. Goodall said. “I’m pleased to see the enterprise in Taiwan actively promoting ocean conservation. Visiting the Chaojing Coral Conservation Center today gave me a fuller understanding of Delta’s transnational coral restoration efforts. I hope this collaboration, through the coral picture book and our Roots & Shoots program, will help more people learn about corals and marine conservation.”
At the end of 2024, Goodall was invited to attend the launch event of a coral culture facility as the base for coral restoration at the St. John’s Island National Marine Laboratory (SJINML), jointly established by Singapore’s National Parks Board (NParks) and the Delta Foundation. This year, the partnership between the Jane Goodall Institute and Delta has further deepened, with the goal of promoting coral and marine ecological awareness through the picture book and Jane Goodall’s Roots & Shoots Program.
“Delta has long been committed to energy conservation, decarbonization, and environmental sustainability,” said Bruce Cheng, Delta’s founder and Chairman of the Delta Electronics Foundation. “In recent years, we have also focused on biodiversity conservation, using Delta’s technological strengths to support researchers in coral restoration efforts. Our project has successfully preserved over 40 species of Taiwanese corals and aims to restore 10,000 coral fragments by this summer.”
Saving Our Coral Reefs will be integrated into NMMST’s coral conservation curriculum and the Jane Goodall Institute’s school outreach programs, raising public awareness and encouraging broader participation in marine conservation. The three parties plan to continue exploring new models that integrate technology, education, and nature conservation to advance the sustainable development of marine ecosystems.
