Coral Reefs Whisper: A four-part XR journey beneath the waves

Beneath the shimmering waters of the South China Sea lies a hidden world – dazzling, vibrant and full of life. But this natural wonder is now under threat.

From mass coral bleaching to destructive fishing, the ocean's most fragile ecosystems are sounding the alarm.

CGTN presents Coral Reefs Whisper, a four-part special using XR visual technology to recreate a vivid virtual seabed. Journey into coral cities, meet their "circle of friends," learn how sandbars are formed, and hear from scientists, fishermen and global experts who are fighting to protect these ecosystems for future generations.

Coral Reefs Whisper premieres on June 1, 2025 – World Reef Day.

Step into a story where science meets wonder, and the reefs finally have a voice.
