The Great Barrier Reef is one of Australia’s most
breathtaking reefs. It is one of the seven wonders of the natural world and is
the world's largest coral reef. It contains plenty of marine life and includes
over 3000 individual reef systems. The Great Barrier Reef is larger than the
Great Wall of China and the only living thing on earth visible from space.
Unfortunately crown thorn starfish, Cyclones and coral bleaching are the top 3
environmental things that are threatening our magnificent Australian back yard
and all of this is related to global warming.
All the plants and animals on the reef play a big part
in keeping this reef healthy and strong. Humans are relative newcomers to the
reef, and we have brought some big changes. Many things that we do on the reef
and on land have the potential to threaten the reef's fragile environment.
It is up to us to protect our magnificent marine life,
for it is up to us to save and protect one of our best features of Australia
let alone the world. We must protect the reef for it is up to us to show the
next generation. If we do not it will cease to appear, half of the reef has
already vanished in the past 27 years.
