World Wildlife Fund - Protecting the Coral Triangle

A cofounder of Domicile Films, LLC, Christopher J. Scott serves as writer, director, and head of production for the company. Outside of his role at Domicile, Christopher J. Scott contributes to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), which works in numerous parts of the world, including the Coral Triangle.

Located in the western Pacific Ocean, the Coral Triangle comprises the waters of Indonesia, the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, Malaysia, East Timor, and the Solomon Islands. These waters feature nearly 600 varieties of coral and over 2,000 reef fish species. Further, the area is home to more than 120 million people, who depend on the area’s coral reefs for income, food, and protection from storms. 

However, the current fish-harvesting methods are not sustainable for the area and its people, and climate change exacerbates the issue. For this reason, the WWF collaborates with conservation groups and local governments to protect this area and its people.
