the great barrier reef

one of the seven

natural wonders of the world

eye watering beauty

polluted by run off

coral bleached by global warming

invaded by the crown of thorns starfish

dying

too late to save it

too late 

too late

  2. This is a true tragedy for biodiversity, and a warning of worse to come. Still, we won't heed it!
