The Plight of Coral Reefs now.

Hello. Okay. Here's more information on the coral reefs. Well, it's kind of like the plight they are now.

You see, biologists have already done their research and you know, living coral reefs are the foundation of marine life, and thus a crucial support for human life, yet all over the world they are dead or dying because people are destroying them—killing them—at a catastrophic rate. Already 10 percent are lost, and scientists say 70 percent of all corals on the planet will be destroyed in 20 to 40 years unless people stop doing what they're doing—pollution, sewage, erosion, cyanide fishing, clumsy tourism—and get serious about saving the coral reefs now. There's hope yet: Reefs are resilient and they bounce back quickly when protected.

But the problem is, the world don't think it's important. Yup, if only people gets a taste of their medicine. They'll see that they should have stopped doing bad stuff. They'll regret. But right now, we'll living happily, peacefully, and are leading a luxurious life. But we never spare a thought for the animals, plants , CORAL REEFS.

It's protection that's the real trick—and it's ordinary people who are making it happen. Government efforts in much of the world have been frankly pathetic: late, weak, underfunded, unenforced. Persian Gulf oil states pass toothless pollution laws then ignore them. Indian Ocean poachers outwit and outnumber British Royal Navy patrols. Ecuador stalls for decades while tourism explodes in the delicate Galapagos, only to enact a plan that makes it worse. The status quo scarcely wavers: relentless destruction of coral reefs. In those bright spots where people are changing the way they treat the reefs, you'll find fishermen, students, divers, biologists, concerned citizens of all stripes transformed into activists and volunteers, taking matters into their own hands to protect the coral reefs that are dear to them and vital to us all. The others? They don't even care.
So it's up to us, ordinary people, to protect the coral reefs, and pass down the message to protect them! Act NOW.
More coming up!
