UNEP Toolkit • Simple and straight information • Make it easy for tourists to comply and consumers will do so • The philosophy underlying the five tools is captured in the tools' logo: It's my choice - Coral or no coral? This points out that every individual action counts, even if small. Each of us therefore has a say if coral reefs will continueto exist or not
The UNEP Coral Toolkit • Five communication tools with the support of the French Government, ready for printing • Just add your logo • Text is multi lingual (English, Spanish, French, Italian and German) - you can chose the languages you want
The Passport • Targeted at all tourists, it introduces the main biological and ecological features of coral reefs • Provides space for the traveller's picture and name, and a map on which the traveller can mark the coral reefs he or she has visited
The Passport • It provides tips such as: • When snorkelling, admire the coral but do not touch it • On the beach… few simple guidelines • In the souvenir shop…look at the cost for nature, not just for your purse • In the restaurant…do not put the ecosystem on your plate • At the hotel…it is also up to you to be responsible
The Quiz • Designed for children from 8 to 12 years, the quiz asks twenty-four questions about coral reef biology and ecology, as well as threats and recommendations on how to protect reefs
The Poster • Highlights how tourists can contribute to the protection of coral reefs while on holiday. It is a supporting tool to the passport -a reminder of ten simple actions that tourists can take, from avoiding fish feeding or touching corals, to switching off the lights when leaving their hotel room Your logo here
