"For some years, Australia has been on notice: the world is watching how
we care for the Great Barrier Reef. The iconic natural wonder is the
largest living organism on the planet. But its health is deteriorating.
In 2017 UNESCO, the United Nations body that granted the reef world
heritage status, asked Australia to report back on how the reef was faring.
Australia this month submitted its latest report. It provides a wealth
of information on many threats to the reef, such as water quality and
crown-of-thorns starfish.
But the report’s overall message is that the reef’s world heritage
values are fine and the threats are in hand, when the reality is far
different."
