#UN scientific advisors have recommended #Australia's #GreatBarrierReef NOT be placed on a list of World Heritage sites "in danger" but stressed the planet's biggest #coralreef system remains under "serious threat" from #globalwarming and water #pollution
#Unesco recommends against Great Barrier Reef ‘in danger’ listing but warned more action needed
