Reefs in Recovery

Transcript

Host

Welcome back to Climate Domino. Today I'm joined by Dr. Amara Okafor to talk about coral reef restoration. Thanks so much for being here.

Dr. Amara Okafor

Thank you for having me. It's a conversation I care deeply about, and I think more people are ready for it than we assume.

Host

Let's start at the beginning. What first pulled you into this work?

Dr. Amara Okafor

Honestly, it was a place. I grew up near water and land that changed visibly within my lifetime. Once you notice that, you can't un-notice it.

Host

And what gives you hope right now?

Dr. Amara Okafor

People. Local groups, scientists, farmers, kids — the solutions are already out there. Our job is to connect them and scale them.

Host

That's a beautiful place to pause. Where can listeners learn more?

Dr. Amara Okafor

Start in your own neighbourhood. Find who's already doing the work and show up.
