Recognised as a Unesco World Heritage Site for 40 years, the Great Barrier Reef could soon be officially added to the organisation's list of World Heritage in Danger. This warning underlines the urgent need to preserve this part of the world, which is threatened by global warming.
The tombs of the Buganda kings in Kasubi (Uganda), the Sumatra rainforests (Indonesia) and the Everglades National Park (United States) are just some of the global sites featured on Unesco's list of World Heritage in Danger, an unfortunate list that the Great Barrier Reef (Australia) is now likely to join.
