Climate change animations launched

Our daytime-job-design-agency Archipelago was commissioned by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA) to create three short animated films explaining climate change and its impact on coral reefs.

It was a real challenge to explain such complex processes in a clear and engaging way, but we nailed it and the feedback (from kids through to marine science boffins) has been fantastic!

The animations have gone into schools and to TV networks across Australia, and are now available online at the links below.

'What is Coral Bleaching?'

'What is Climate Change?'

'Impacts of Climate Change'

We'd love to hear your comments on these.

As ever beautiful animation used well to highlight what we will lose if we don't take action.

Jo/es - brilliant work I have to say, especially the coral reef animation.....Pob and I were reminiscing about our honeymooon in Australia last night and remembering the highlights - one of which was snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef. We pondered over the sad fact that our children may never get a chance to see it ....well I hope that the work you are doing DOES enable us to take our future progeny to the Reef one day, so we can tell them that our mates Jo and Joe helped save it!!

Beautiful... however the link to 'What is coral bleaching?' segment is pointing to the video clip for 'What is climate change?'
Nonetheless the presentations are wonderful, I have several youngsters on my list to pass this along to... Thanks!

Helen - thanks for comment. Fingers crossed we'll achieve something in Copenhagen..

Shawn - thanks for spotting that, now amended.

Alx - thanks. What we can do is only a drop in the ocean, as it were, but I guess it all helps! I get the impression that kids can often see this stuff more clearly than adults - perhaps they're not as addicted to high-carbon lifestyles as we are.. x
