Australia’s Great Barrier Reef should be added to the list of world heritage sites that are “in danger”, a UN-backed panel has said, citing a number of bleaching events over the past several years.
Scientists from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (Unesco) took part in a 10-day mission to the reef in March, and, in a new report released on Monday, concluded that action to save the site must be undertaken with the “utmost urgency”.
