UNESCO Still Concerned About Great Barrier Reef, but Remains Off Danger List

In March 2022 91% of the Great Barrier Reef Experienced Coral Bleaching

The Great Barrier Reef, one of the 7 Natural Wonders of the World is soon to be listed as World Heritage in Danger.

The World Heritage Committee has granted Australia an extension so that it can address significant challenges facing the Great Barrier Reef, including “coral bleaching” and has offered Australia a potential opportunity to prevent its inclusion on the endangered list.

The United Nations World Heritage Committee has formally excluded the Great Barrier Reef from its “in danger” list, yet Australia continues to face scrutiny to demonstrate its commitment to safeguarding the reef from environmental threats.
