these stunning coral islands off the map. as soon as they realise i'm from the maldives, they're like, "oh, when is it sinking? "i got to get there before it sinks." the maldives needs solutions, and it needs them fast. our islands are eroding at an alarming rate. we depend solely on our coral reefs for income, for protection, and for our survival, as well. i travel across the islands to meet some inspirational people with exciting ideas, seeing the radical new ways to bring coral reefs back to life, and a completely new, sustainable way of reclaiming much—needed land. this is extreme conservation — the maldives.
