to declare the country’s Great Barrier Reef “in danger” from climate change.</span> <span data-start-time='13688' data-end-time='30104'>The U.N.’s Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) proposed this week that the Great Barrier Reef be added to its List of World Heritage in Danger.</span> <span data-start-time='30104' data-end-time='46792'>A UNESCO committee report said this week it had found that “there is no possible doubt” that the reef’s collection of colorful corals was “facing ascertained danger.”</span> <span data-start-time='46792' data-end-time='60354'>The Great Barrier Reef covers about 344,000 square kilometers of area on Australia’s northeast coast. </span> <span data-start-time='60354' data-end-time='70688'>It contains about 3,000 reefs, natural structures made by very small animals called corals. </span> <span data-start-time='70688' data-end-time='76292'>The reef also includes more than 900 islands.</span> <span data-start-time='76292' data-end-time='83750'>The reef has been listed as a World Heritage site since 1981.</span> <span data-start-time='83750' data-end-time='99938'>A report by the committee said it found the Great Barrier Reef had suffered major coral bleaching events in 2016, 2017 and 2020. </span> <span data-start-time='99938' data-end-time='106771'>It blamed the events on unusually warm ocean temperatures. </span> <span data-start-time='106771' data-end-time='120479'>UNESCO said the “in danger” listing was needed to make sure action is taken to protect the reef from the effects of climate change.</span> <span data-start-time='120479' data-end-time='131042'>Such “corrective measures” would likely include stronger rules to reduce pollution linked to greenhouse gases. </span> <span data-start-time='131042' data-end-time='146479'>Adding the reef to UNESCO’s “in danger” list could also reduce the number of international visitors coming to the area to see the huge collection of colorful corals.</span>
