Learn why the Great Barrier Reef deserves to become the first non-human recipient of the United Nations Environment Programme’s Lifetime Achievement Award.
We acknowledge the continuing Sea Country management and custodianship of the Great Barrier Reef by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Traditional Owners whose rich cultures, heritage values, enduring connections and shared efforts protect the Reef for future generations.

the Great Barrier Reef’s nomination
Introducing
“a globally outstanding and significant entity.”
The Champions of the Earth Awards – presented by the United Nations Environment Programme – are the world’s highest environmental honour. The pinnacle of the awards is the Lifetime Achievement Award, only given to those who have spent decades helping the planet and its inhabitants. The most inspirational living individuals whose actions change, protect and safeguard the world. But ‘individual’ has many meanings, including a ‘distinct entity’.
As the earth’s largest living structure, described by UNESCO as “a globally outstanding and significant entity”, we believe the Great Barrier Reef is an eligible and worthy nominee for the 2025 UNEP Champions of the Earth Lifetime Achievement Award.

Coral nurseries are like the Reef’s recovery rooms. 🪸💚
Tiny fragments of coral are grown here until they’re strong enough to be replanted back onto damaged parts of the Reef. It’s a regeneration process that helps restore biodiversity, boost reef health, and build resilience in the face of climate change.
It’s slow, steady work, but every coral counts. And every effort brings us closer to a thriving future beneath the surface.

This #WorldReefAwarenessDay, we`re celebrating the powerful collaboration behind restoring the Reef. 🪸
Scientists, Traditional Owners, and tourism operators are working together to help the Great Barrier Reef bounce back stronger.
It starts with tiny coral fragments grown in underwater nurseries. Once they’re strong enough, these baby corals are replanted across damaged sites, restoring life and colour to the Reef, one piece at a time.
