Great Barrier Reef....Timelapse



Australia’s Great Barrier Reef has been captivating visitors for decades with its stunning tropical waters and amazing coral mysteries. However, after a five year study, Dr. Pim Bongaerts of University of Queensland, has brought the life cycle of the reef’s coral to life in a stunning timelapse. It shows how the coral moves and grows over a long period of time, which is normally too slow for naked eye to see.
The Great Barrier reef and all other coral reefs in the world are gravely endangered by rising ocean temperatures. The small coral creatures are dying and it is they who provide a habitat for so many other marine species. Nature is a chain; each link depending on the strength of the next link. When it is broken, it directly or indirectly affects the biodiversity of our planet. Please get informed and involved in the environmental issues that face us now . It is a very serious matter and if we do not take measures to stop global warming and climate change, your children and grandchildren will face a hot and barren world with little food and fresh water. And by that time the problems may be insurmountable.
