The Delta Electronics Foundation partnered with the Jane Goodall Institute and the National Museum of Marine Science and Technology to promote coral restoration, symbolically planting coral seedlings as a sign of hope.

In December last year, Dr. Jane Goodall visited the Coral Restoration Center on St. John’s Island in Singapore, established through a collaboration between the Delta Electronics Foundation, Singapore’s National Parks Board (NParks), and the National University of Singapore, at the invitation of the Singaporean government. At the time, she was deeply impressed by Delta’s use of industrial automation technologies in coral cultivation and remote intelligent control systems. This visit marks Dr. Goodall’s return to Taiwan after seven years, with her first stop being the Chaojing Coral Conservation Center. During the visit, she also announced that the Jane Goodall Institute will collaborate with the Delta Electronics Foundation to promote the Foundation’s published picture book “Saving Our Coral Reefs” to partner elementary schools over the next three years.Bruce Cheng(right), Delta’s founder, and Dr. Jane Goodall(left) visited the Chaojing Coral Conservation Center.

Dr. Jane Goodall stated during her speech at the conservation center that all ecosystems are deeply interconnected, and that conservation transcends national borders—it requires a united global effort. She said, “I am pleased to see that Taiwanese companies are making significant efforts to promote marine conservation, and I am truly impressed by Delta’s cross-border initiatives and accomplishments in coral restoration.” She also expressed her hope to collaborate further with Delta through coral-themed picture books and the long-running “Roots & Shoots Program”, using accessible methods to help more people understand coral and marine ecosystem conservation.

Mr. Bruce Cheng, Founder of Delta Group and Chairman of the Delta Electronics Foundation, gave a presentation in fluent English to the guests, introducing the achievements of the Coral Conservation Center. He humbly expressed to Dr. Jane Goodall his hope to follow in her footsteps and raise greater awareness of ecological issues. “Our corporate volunteers even bring their children to participate in the activities, so they can learn from a young age about the impact of climate change on coral reefs,” he said. In addition to exchanging thoughts with Dr. Goodall, Mr. Cheng also received a signed copy of The Book of Hope from her and took a commemorative photo together.Dr. Jane Goodall signed the picture book "Saving Our Coral Reefs" as a memento.Bruce Cheng(second from the left) received a signed copy of The Book of Hope from Dr. Jane Goodall(second from the right).

The “Delta Coral Restoration Initiative” began in 2020 with a single photo of coral bleaching uploaded by a volunteer. Nearly five years later, the program is approaching a major milestone of restoring 10,000 corals. In addition, Delta’s high-efficiency aquaculture system is being used to preserve nearly 40 coral species—half of which are classified as endangered or near-threatened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Looking ahead, the Delta Electronics Foundation will continue to collaborate with international organizations, including the Jane Goodall Institute, to promote coral restoration technologies, share best practices, expand impact, and leverage Delta’s expertise to help coral ecosystems adapt to extreme climate conditions.
