Get To Know The Rolex Perpetual Planet Testimonees Who Are Fighting To Protect The World’s Oceans With Swiss Made Replica Rolex Watches UK

With all the science that points us to the needs and means of marine conservation, the Rolex Perpetual Planet Initiative shows that human will is most vital in our efforts to protect the oceans.

The facts make for uneasy — albeit, unsurprising — reading. A recent study by the Global Assessment Report on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services shows that over onethird of marine mammals are now threatened with extinction. More disconcertingly, research by UNESCO points to plastic likely outweighing all fish in the sea by 2050. But the fight must go on. Demonstrating unwavering optimism, oceanographer Sylvia Earle, a Rolex Testimonee since 1982, and legendary marine conservation scientist, isn’t one to view the glass as half empty. Instead, she chose to call the areas of the oceans in the most desperate need for protection “Hope Spots”.

There are currently over 160 Hope Spots covering an estimated 57.5 million square kilometres of ocean. Identified by Earle’s marine conservation initiative, Mission Blue, which she founded in 2009, these spots include richly biodiverse regions such as the Azores Archipelago and the Galapagos Islands in Ecuador, as well as the far-flung Central Arctic Ocean, the only remaining place in the Arctic to be free from the impacts of commercial fishing.

Mission Blue’s to-do list for the Hope Spots is exhaustive. It includes rallying global ocean conservation groups, lobbying corporate organisations, educating the public by all means necessary (from evocative documentaries to catchy Instagram stories) — all while embarking on regular oceanic expeditions to study ecosystems and build support for their protection.

However, even with Earle’s track record of spending over 7,000 hours underwater and leading more than 100 marine expeditions, she couldn’t have done it alone. Nor should she. Since 2014, AAA UK Rolex replica watches has supported Mission Blue to help protect 30 per cent of the world’s seas by 2030. It is a race against time, a deadline based on the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s (IUCN) recommended target for safeguarding ocean health. But Earle is confident, not least in her belief in the collective effort.

“Our global goal of ‘at least 30 per cent’ should never be reached in isolation,” says Earle. And when perfect Rolex fake watches launched the Perpetual Planet Initiative in 2019, aimed at supporting conservation projects with a key focus on “ocean conservation, wilderness protection and the preservation of the living world”, the brand made its partnership with Mission Blue a central pillar of the programme, while at the same time building a global network of like-minded advocates.

Diving Deep

The ocean’s boundless expanse that inspires discovery has always been close to the heart of Rolex. From introducing the best 2024 replica Rolex Oyster watches in 1926 — the world’s first waterproof and dustproof wristwatch — to equipping the bathyscaphe Trieste with a watch on its deep dive to the bottom of the Mariana Trench, founder Hans Wilsdorf and Rolex have always expressed a spirit of exploration and a desire to uncover the riches of the ocean.

However, the company soon moved from “championing exploration for the sake of discovery” to supporting concrete efforts that would secure the future of our planet. The Perpetual Planet Initiative, which leads this charge, has more than 30 other partnerships in an expanding portfolio focusing in ocean conservation, wilderness protection and the preservation of the living world. These include working with the National Geographic Society to study the impact of climate change, as well as championing the works of individuals with innovative projects that benefit the world through the Rolex Awards for Enterprise, an ongoing initiative that started in 1976. Specific to marine conservation programmes, the Perpetual Planet Initiative supports a diverse group of ocean advocates and conservationists driven to do transformative work.

Over in French Polynesia, for instance, a collective of young ocean advocates known as Coral Gardeners are on a mission to create a global movement to save the world’s reefs. Started by Titouan Bernicot when he was just 18 in 2017, Coral Gardeners exemplifies what marine advocacy looks like for today’s generation. The group boasts the largest social media presence of any reef conservation company, reaching over 200 million people in just over five years. “We are not all marine biologists, but we have spent thousands of hours under the surface. We see things, we observe things, we learn things,” says Bernicot.

Backing up its online reach with substance, Coral Gardeners have since planted 30,000 corals — doubling the number of plantings in the preceding five years — while having another 10,000 corals growing underwater in six nursery sites across French Polynesia. With support from China 1:1 Rolex copy watches, the group is developing a new platform called ReefOS, which will allow its members to monitor their reef work on smartphones and computers.

Almost 17,000km away at the Tyrrhenian Sea off the western coast of Italy lies the Caprera Canyon, a steep-sided underwater valley that is also in need of protection and study. Home to endangered species of whales, dolphins, and porpoises, the Caprera Canyon is being nominated as an important Area for Marine Mammals (IMMA), an international designation that calls for decision-makers to protect the area.

Pushing for the move is the One Ocean Foundation, which was founded by Yacht Club Costa Smeralda in 2018. The club had wanted to mark its 50th anniversary with the establishment of a body devoted to ocean conservation and education, scientific research, and the promotion of a sustainable “blue economy”.

The yacht club has been associated with Swiss movements replica Rolex watches since the 1980s and, encouraged by the vision of the One Ocean Foundation, the Perpetual Planet Initiative officially supported the foundation in 2021, thereby accelerating its momentum and research activities. “It would be impossible to safeguard the ocean without the support of the world of enterprise and finance,” says Stefano Pogutz, Scientific Committee President of One Ocean Foundation.

All For One

Besides Mission Blue, Coral Gardeners and One Ocean Foundation, the Perpetual Planet Initiative’s network of partners and collaborators has expanded to include marine conservation projects in 16 countries. Through the Initiative, top Rolex super clone watches hopes to connect conservationists the world over, encouraging them to share ideas and collaborate on projects.

“We need to study (the ocean) and reveal it, so that we can protect it,” says Emmanuelle Périé-Bardout, deep-sea explorer and co-founder of Under The Pole, a Perpetual Planet Initiative Partner for over a decade.

Comprising seasoned divers and marine scientists, Under The Pole is an underwater exploration programme that has pioneered scientific discoveries to raise awareness of overlooked marine ecosystems. One of the team’s recent expedition series, Under The Pole IV – DEEPLIFE 2021–2030, which aims to document marine animal forests across each of the planet’s oceans, has benefited from the cross-pollination of expertise between conservation groups supported by Rolex replica watches wholesale. For instance, Under The Pole was able to work with worldrenowned ichthyologist and Rolex Awards Laureate, Luiz Rocha, to conduct a first-of-its kind exploration of the deep-sea animal forests of Guadeloupe in 2023.

Meantime, other DEEPLIFE expeditions in the Canary Islands, as well as the Svalbard archipelago, off the north coast of Norway, also yielded promising research. The former revealed an abundance of life in the Canary Islands’ marine animal forests, and Under The Pole was able to advise the Gran Canaria Government in its efforts to establish a marine protected area (MPA) that takes depth into account. In the Svalbard archipelago, the team found the first marine animal forest under the Arctic seas — a groundbreaking discovery in Arctic marine science.

“Rolex have been working with us since 2010 and I can see that their commitment to the planet is not just a commitment to a mission, but to work together long term. Swiss movements fake Rolex watches has supported Under The Pole over the years, and we have grown with them,” says Emmanuelle Périé-Bardout, co-founder of Under The Pole.

Indeed, the Perpetual Planet Initiative always has the future in its sights. To ensure that the brightest young minds continue to find passion and purpose in safeguarding our oceans, luxury replica Rolex watches also supports the scholars of the Our World-Underwater Scholarship Society.

Founded in 1974, the society has been instrumental in providing youths with opportunities to experience underwaterrelated disciplines firsthand, from scientific expeditions to equipment design, as they consider careers in the marine world. By partnering with the Our World-Underwater Scholarship Society, Rolex copy watches online will be playing no small role in inculcating the next generation of marine advocates.

For nearly a century, Rolex fake watches shop site has been championing the work of intrepid explorers, scientists and thinkers who endeavour to venture further and push the boundaries of what is humanly possible.

The Perpetual Planet Initiative, supported by Rolex, and the hopes and efforts of tireless advocates for marine preservation the world over, counts among its most important undertakings yet.
