Coral reefs are some of the most beautiful and diverse ecosystems on our planet, and the Coral Triangle is home to the highest diversity of marine life on Earth. The Coral Triangle spans over six million square kilometers of ocean and includes parts of Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, Timor-Leste, and the Solomon Islands. In recognition of the importance of this region, Coral Triangle Day is celebrated on June 9th every year.

Coral Triangle Day is a celebration of the biodiversity and cultural heritage of the Coral Triangle. It aims to raise awareness about the threats facing this unique and precious region, and encourage people to take action to protect it. The day is celebrated with various activities, such as beach cleanups, eco-tours, and community events.

To commemorate Coral Triangle Day, an international postage stamp could be issued, featuring the unique marine life and culture of the Coral Triangle. This stamp would be available only in the countries that are part of the Coral Triangle, including Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, Timor-Leste, and the Solomon Islands. It would serve as a reminder of the importance of this region and the need to protect it for future generations.

Let us all celebrate Coral Triangle Day and work together to protect this amazing region and its marine life.

Countries included: Philippines 🇵🇭, Indonesia 🇮🇩, Malaysia 🇲🇾, Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬, Solomon Islands 🇸🇧, Timor-Leste 🇹🇱.
