Why are coral reefs important?
Coral reefs provide homes to thousands of amazing animals. But they are being destroyed at an alarming rate. Already 10 percent are lost and scientists say 70 percent of all corals on Earth will be killed off in 20 to 40 years unless people stop the destruction caused by pollution, sewage, erosion, cyanide fishing, bad tourism practices, and global warming. They need your help and protection.
