Planting “Trees” in the Ocean! Farglory Life Insurance Initiates Ecological Restoration Program Targeting our Coral Reef Treasures
Surrounded by sea, Taiwan is home to one-third of the world’s coral reef species and was once known as the “Coral Kingdom”. However, affected by the extreme weather and rising sea temperatures in recent years, the corals in the neighboring waters are bleaching, resulting in incalculable damage to the environment. As a result, Farglory Life Insurance has taken the lead in initiating the ecological restoration program to plant coral reefs, and has joined hands with National Taiwan Ocean University to invest in “coral seeding”, which fulfils the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goal SDG 14: Life Below Water.
