… or we can just do it.
The Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest living organism. Running 2000 kilometres down the North East coast of Australia a myriad of over 2500 reefs and islands cover an area of 350,000 square kilometres of ocean. This mighty coral ecosystem supports 350 species of coral, 1500 species of fish and thousands of molluscs making it one of the most biodiverse communities in the world. Beside its natural beauty the Great Barrier Reef is a scientific wonderland and an untapped source of pharmaceutical benefits for the human race. Despite its vast size and millions of years of survival, the Great Barrier Reef is endangered by a multitude of human activities. Acting in concert, these stresses may defeat the greatest living edifice on our planet. Scientists are slowly uncovering facts about the biological vulnerability of coral reefs, and the prognosis is that the condition of the reef will get worse if we don't change our ways immediately. The longer we delay the needed changes, the closer we push one of the seven natural wonders of the world towards destruction. |
