### English
* **Ongoing Support for LNG**: Major Asian insurers, including MS&AD, SOMPO, and Tokio Marine, continue to provide coverage for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) projects within the Coral Triangle.
* **Environmental Risks**: Campaigners warn that this fossil fuel expansion threatens the Coral Triangle, a critical biodiversity hotspot supporting 360 million people and home to 75% of the world’s coral species.
* **Industry Refusal**: Despite pressure from the *Insure Our Future* coalition, many insurance firms—including those in Japan, China, Australia, and the West—have refused to implement specific blanket exclusions for new LNG infrastructure in the region.
* **Policy Gap**: While insurers cite existing environmental risk assessments and protections for UNESCO/Ramsar sites, critics argue these measures are insufficient to protect the broader, interconnected marine ecosystem.

* **环境风险**: 活动人士警告称，化石燃料的扩张正在威胁这一关键的生物多样性热点地区；该地区不仅供养着 3.6 亿人口，还拥有全球 75% 的珊瑚物种。
* **行业拒绝**: 尽管面临“保险我们的未来”(Insure Our Future) 联盟的压力，许多日本、中国、澳大利亚及西方保险公司仍拒绝针对该地区的液化天然气基础设施实施全面的承保禁令。
