ABC News (Australia) published this video item, entitled “Scientists say recommendation to list Great Barrier Reef as ‘in danger’ comes as no surprise | 7.30” – below is their description.
Environment Minister Sussan Ley says the Australian Government has been blind-sided by a draft decision of the World Heritage Committee recommending the Great Barrier Reef be listed as ‘in danger’.
But coral reef scientists and environment groups say this comes as no surprise and the government has an uphill battle to stop the committee formally accepting the draft decision when it meets next month. Guest reporter Marian Wilkinson takes a look at the issue.
