Co-organized by the Delta Electronics Foundation, National Museum of Marine Science and Technology (NMMST), and Asia University Museum of Modern Art, the "Earth Pulsing: Nurturing Life Exhibition" officially opened in NMMST on April 21. First held in the Asia University Museum of Modern Art last year, the exhibition attracted over 10,000 visitors. Relocating to NMMST this year, it adds "Guide to Ecology" and "Coral Restoration Area" sections, leading the visitors to see aquatic animals closely and experience how to fix coral fragments on the bases. The first 1,000 coral fragments will be transplanted to the Chaojing Bay Resource Conservation Area on Earth Day (April 22). This year, Delta Electronics continues to donate renewable energy to create an exhibition using 100% renewable electricity, the same as last year.

The director-general of NMMST, Su-Fen Chen, said that NMMST has cooperated with Delta since 2020, holding coral restoration workshops, promoting 8K UHD environmental film, and adopting Delta's LED lighting and control system to grow coral fragments. On Earth Day, volunteers from NMMST and the Delta Electronics Foundation will transplant over 1,000 coral fragments to the Chaojing Bay Resource Conservation Area and diversify the ecosystem within the area. 

The chief sustainability officer and spokesperson of Delta Electronics, Jesse Chou, also emphasized that the world’s ocean surface temperature has hit record high and that more frequent marine heatwaves are causing coral bleaching. In Taiwan, 107 types of corals have been listed as endangered, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN)’s Red List. Last year, UN Biodiversity Conference (CBD COP15) invited the private sector to make more ambitious commitments and put more funding for nature conservation. Even before this conference, Delta has included biodiversity as one of the sustainability strategies in the company. For coral restoration, Delta recruited about 60 marine volunteers and designed automation equipment, aiming to achieve growing 10,000 coral fragments within three years.

The "Earth Pulsing: Nurturing Life Exhibition" features photos from BBC's documentary series and paintings drawn by contemporary Taiwanese artists Paul Chiang and En-Sheng Yang. In addition, the exhibition also invites the environmental artist Kuei-Chih Lee to redesign the coral restoration rack, "The Birth." Apart from the 4K immersive projection images, the exhibition offers a "Coral Restoration Area," where visitors could join workshops to experience how to fix coral fragments on the bases on their own. The workshops will be available on weekends during the exhibition period (from April 21 to October 10). Visitors can reserve the tickets online, and the first 100 registrants will receive the coral restoration NFT created by the digital artist Nai-Ting Liu.
