The Perfect Partnership The collaboration with WFPS is not just strategic; it is rooted in shared values and a vision for a better future: • Alignment with Sustainability Goals: WFPS’s commitment to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal of Life Below Water aligns perfectly with Global Coralition’s mission, underscoring our joint dedication to environmental preservation. • Inclusivity: We are focused on partnering with the local and indigenous communities and have mapped out 50 strategic sculpture locations worldwide, with a special focus on low-income island communities. Together, we prioritize equity and justice, ensuring that our initiatives support those most vulnerable to environmental degradation. • Cross-Cultural Collaboration: We recognize the importance of preserving local heritage and cultural wisdom in conservation efforts. Our partnership fosters respect and collaboration across diverse communities. • Art as a Transformative Tool: Both WFPS and Global Coralition understand the power of art to transcend barriers and communicate complex ideas. By leveraging art, we engage a wide audience and inspire advocacy for environmental stewardship.

Our intention is to educate and inspire people from all over the world to see their interconnectedness with our planet and each other. Then slowly and consciously, to evolve our actions on a personal, corporate and international level, so that we progress in a way that better sustains our precious planet and lives.
