UN recommended that Great Barrier Reef should be listed as a world heritage site

UN panel has recommended that Australia’s Great Barrier Reef should be listed as a world heritage site that is in danger. It said, the world’s biggest coral reef ecosystem was significantly impacted by climate change and warming of oceans.

The long-awaited report on the 10-day mission that took place in March said, climate change was presenting a serious challenge to the values that saw the reef inscribed as a global wonder in 1981.
