Additionally, 34 endangered species and 26 vital ecosystems, including a large expanse of the Amazon rainforest, are now protected. Thanks to them, over 18 million trees grow today. Their efforts benefit an estimated 5 million people globally, with 48 innovative technologies developed for numerous applications. To date, 150 Laureates have seen their labour come to fruition. First set up in 1976 to mark the 50th anniversary of the world’s first waterproof wristwatch, the Oyster, the programme supports exceptional individuals making the world a better place.

The two organisations unite in engaging in a series of expeditions focused on answering crucial questions about the impacts of climate change on critical environments. Since 2017, Rolex has also enhanced its long-standing partnership with the National Geographic Society to promote exploration and conservation. Presently, only 8% of our oceans are conserved. Earle contributes to a global effort aiming to protect 30% of the world’s oceans by 2030. With the support of Rolex since 2014, the number of Hope Spots has increased from 50 to over 130. The sites may be significant for their biodiversity, home to rare or endangered species, or be sites where local communities rely on a healthy marine environment for their livelihoods. These are areas designated as vital to the preservation of species. Currently, the initiative embraces Sylvia Earle’s Mission Blue Initiative, founded in 2009 to preserve the oceans through a network of marine-protected Hope Spots. The effort supports individuals and organisations using science to understand global environmental challenges and plan viable solutions to restore balance to our ecosystems.
