Coral Reefs
Bagheera's Coral Reefs - The International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has named coral reefs as one of the life-support systems essential for our own survival. Found around coastlines in the tropics, coral reefs provide homes for about a third of all fish species on Earth and numerous other marine organisms. Reefs are physically as well as biologically important; they play a fundamental role in protecting coastlines from erosion and contribute to the formation of white sandy beaches. These complex, fragile ecosystems are deteriorating at an alarming rate worldwide. Discover more information here.
