As climate change breathes down the earth’s neck, Stan has announced a documentary that shows how a special group is protecting Australia’s own seventh wonder of the natural world.
Revealed: Reefshot, premiering on June 5 documents the incredible true story of a group of conservationists, scientists, Traditional Owners and everyday citizens working together to protect the Great Barrier Reef from the effects of climate change.
The feature-length doco will venture below the surface to witness a community fighting to protect the world’s largest living structure, for future generations.
Film producer Andy Ridley will lead the film as he rally’s the public and utilises new methods for tackling environmental issues along the reef by blending Traditional Ecological Knowledge with modern science to survey and protect the Reef.
Ridley will conduct the third Great Reef Census, surveying over 500 reefs and documenting over 75,000 images since 2020.
You will be able to experience how a revolution in conservation using technology and science is helping the conservation team fast-track coral growth and work towards eradicating the ‘supervillain’ and one of the biggest threats to coral – the Crown-of-thorns starfish.
“The twin crises of climate change and nature loss threaten the reef’s health, and ultimately its survival,” Ridley said. “Revealed: Reefshot is all about the power of the citizen, whether on the Reef or on the other side of the world, being able to help achieve the scale necessary to address the vast conversation challenges ahead of us. The Great Barrier Reef is probably the greatest place on the planet to remind people what is at stake, and mobilise them to help.”
Watch Revealed: Reefshot from June 5 on Stan.
