In The Chagos Islands - Hope for Coral Reefs?, we journey to the heart of the Indian Ocean, over 1,500 kilometers from the nearest continent, to explore an untouched and mysterious paradise-the Chagos Islands. This pristine archipelago of 60 islands, one of the last true wildernesses on Earth, is home to the world’s largest marine national park, strictly protected and teeming with life.
