The Horse 2023

Die Gefährdung von Korallenriffen

Als Schülerinnen und Schüler einer Wirtschaftsschule sind wir uns bewusst, wie wichtig der Schutz der Umwelt und natürlicher Ressourcen für eine nachhaltige wirtschaftliche Entwicklung ist. In diesem Artikel werden wir uns näher mit den Hauptursachen der Korallenbleiche und dem damit einhergehenden Verlust von Korallenriffen beschäftigen und diskutieren, welche Maßnahmen ergriffen werden können, um diese wichtigen Unterwasser-Ökosysteme zu schützen.

Unfortunately, we have not yet received a positive decision. We will stay tuned and continue to try to achieve success in publishing. In case of positive feedback we will post an update on the horse. Nevertheless, we are very satisfied with our project so far and are still motivated to continue it.

Entwicklung des Projektes

Inspiraton

In der Sekundarschule hatte Mia im Englisch Unterricht das Thema Korallenriffe. Noch nie hatte sie so im Unterricht zugehört, wie bei diesem Thema. Im Frühling konnte sie nach Thailand in den Urlaub und war zum ersten Mal schnorcheln. Obwohl sie Angst vor Fischen hatte, welche ihr zu nahe kamen, war sie von den bunten Korallen fasziniert. Sie sahen friedlich und farbenfroh aus.

On Monday afternoon were we able to get to know the students from Dubai.
Here are some of the things we talked about:

Students:

1. Amir, 13 years old, likes basketball
2. Ameerah, 14 years old, likes painting
3. Se, 14 years old, likes drawing

Expectations:

1. Amir is Egyptian and loves corals a lot. So he feels that he has an emotional connection to the project. His goal is to raise awareness.
2. Se knew a lot of facts about the corals. She also wants to raise awareness.
3. Ameerah wants to raise awareness and have an impact on the environment.

How to reach a larger audience:
- Amir wants to get an interview with a NYU professor and eventually publish it in the NYU newsletter of Dubai
- The other two girls want to start a social media account and post coral reef content.

1. What inspired you to pursue a career in coral reef research, and what do you find most fascinating about these ecosystems?

2. Can you explain the process of coral bleaching, and what are some of the most significant factors that contribute to bleaching events?

3. What are some of the most effective conservation strategies for protecting coral reefs, and how can individuals get involved in these efforts?

4. How do you see the future of coral reefs, given the current state of environmental degradation and climate change? Are there reasons to be optimistic, or is it a bleak outlook?

5. What are some of the biggest misconceptions that people have about coral reefs, and how can we better educate the public about the importance of these ecosystems?

6. Can you discuss some of the innovative technologies or methods that are being developed to study and protect coral reefs?

7. How do you balance the need for scientific research and conservation efforts with the economic interests of industries that rely on coral reef ecosystems, such as tourism and fishing?

8. What advice would you give to someone who is interested in pursuing a career in coral reef research or conservation?

9. What are some of the key indicators that scientists use to assess the health of coral reef ecosystems, and how do you measure them?

10. What are some of the biggest challenges facing coral reef conservation efforts, and how can we overcome them?

11. How have coral reefs changed over the course of your career, and what are some of the most significant changes that you've observed?

14. How do you collaborate with other scientists, policymakers, and community members to achieve conservation goals for coral reefs?

15. What role do you see technology playing in the future of coral reef research and conservation, and what new technologies are you most excited about?

16. Can you discuss any recent or ongoing research projects that you're working on related to coral reefs, and what are some of the key questions that you hope to answer through this research?

17. How do different coral species respond to environmental stressors such as temperature changes or pollution, and are there certain species that are more resilient than others?

18. How can traditional ecological knowledge and local communities be incorporated into coral reef conservation efforts, and what are some examples of successful community-based conservation initiatives?

19. How do you think the COVID-19 pandemic has affected coral reef ecosystems, and what are some of the long-term implications of this disruption?

20. How can coral reef conservation efforts be integrated with broader efforts to address climate change and other global environmental challenges?

1. What inspired you to pursue a career in coral reef and marine biology research?
2. Can you explain the importance of coral reefs to the ocean ecosystem and to human society?
3. How have coral reefs been impacted by human activities, such as climate change and overfishing?
4. What are some of the most pressing threats facing coral reefs today?
5. Can you discuss any recent research or findings related to coral reefs and their impact?
6. In your opinion, what can individuals and communities do to help protect and preserve coral reefs?
7. What do you see as the future of coral reef conservation efforts, and what role do you think science will play in that future?
8. What message would you like to share with the public about the importance of coral reef conservation?
9. What methods do researchers use to study coral reefs, and what are some of the challenges associated with studying these ecosystems?
10. Can you talk about any success stories or positive developments in coral reef conservation efforts?
11. How can we balance the needs of human communities (e.g. fishing, tourism) with the need to protect and conserve coral reefs?

Ouor plan for today:

• Update the teacher on oour progress
• Put together all the research we did
• Continue with the IDAF project
• Look for newspapers to publish in Switzerland

Zusammen mit dem Team von Green Roofs (Celine, Daniel, Leon) haben wir ein Brainstorming durchgeführt. Wir haben mögliche Medien Kanäle gesucht, welche wir anfragen können, ob sie einen Kurzbericht über unser Projekt veröffentlichen.
