REEF PROBATION REPORT

The Australian and Queensland governments made a promise to the World Heritage Committee to protect the Great Barrier Reef… How well have they performed?

With Australia due to deliver a Great Barrier Reef progress report to UNESCO’s World Heritage Committee by December 1, Fight For The Reef partners WWF-Australia and the Australian Marine Conservation Society, have prepared their own assessment. The Reef Probation Report finds that Australia is falling behind on key commitments, and risks being called before the World Heritage Committee again in 2017.
