A United Nations-backed mission is recommending that the Great Barrier Reef be added to the list of endangered World Heritage sites.
FILE - In this undated photo provided by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority, the Great Barrier Reef near the Whitsunday, Australia, region is viewed from the air. A United Nations-backed mission is recommending that the Great Barrier Reef be added to the list of endangered World Heritage sites, sounding the alarm that without"ambitious, rapid and sustained" climate action the world's largest coral reef is in peril. The warning came in a report published Monday Nov.
The reef, a living place of immense variety and beauty on the north-east coast of Australia, has been on UNESCO’s World Heritage List since 1981. Feedback from Australian officials, both at the federal and state level, will also be reviewed before UNESCO, the U.N.’s Paris-based cultural agency, makes any official proposal to the World Heritage committee.
More money should be found to increase the water quality and stop the site’s decline, the report concludes.
