CORAL REEFS AND THE THREAT OF THEIR EXTINCTION

“Underwater gardens” or “marine rainforest” is the name given to coral reefs not only for their beauty, but also because they form one of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet. It takes many years for a coral reef to form. And, unfortunately, they are very easy to destroy. That's why we need to protect this ecosystem from extinction.
