In The Chagos Islands – Hope for Coral Reefs?, we journey to the heart of the Indian Ocean, over 1,500 kilometers from the nearest continent, to explore an untouched and mysterious paradise—the Chagos Islands. This pristine archipelago of 60 islands, one of the last true wildernesses on Earth, is home to the world’s largest marine national park, strictly protected and teeming with life.

For the first time, a scientific expedition has been granted access to this politically contested territory. Amid the escalating crisis of climate change, where coral reefs globally are under threat, researchers venture into this marine sanctuary to uncover how coral communities thrive with minimal human interference.
