Sony BBC Earth names Uma Mani as Earth Champion for the month

Sony BBC Earth has made Uma Mani the Earth Champion for the month. Known as the Coral Woman of India, an artist and Professional Association of Diving Instructors-certified scuba diver, Mani exemplifies the fusion of passion and action towards the conservation of coral reefs.

Earth Champions is a monthly property of Sony BBC Earth that is committed to honouring real-life heroes making a substantial impact on our planet. The channel showcases the work done by the Earth Champions in a short-form content format with befitting music. The video is telecasted on the channel and promoted on network channels apart from the online medium.

Mani's journey to becoming the Coral Woman of India began on the vibrant streets of Dindigul, Tamil Nadu. Taking an unexpected turn at the age of 49, she decided to become a PADI-certified scuba diver. This decision was not just about exploring the underwater world but a commitment to safeguarding the delicate ecosystems beneath the surface.

Her dual passion for painting and scuba diving converged into a symphony of art. Mani has been using her artistic expression as a tool to spark meaningful conversations about the threats faced by coral reefs, including bleaching, pollution and global warming.

Mani said, "I believe that art is a very powerful and effective tool of communication. It has helped me in raising awareness towards the need for coral preservation. Earth Champions is a great initiative by Sony BBC Earth. I hope these stories inspire more and more people to take green steps towards the planet.”
