BIG NEWS: Great Barrier Reef decision made!
WWF Action Network / Sara Thomas, Manager
I heard from my colleagues in Australia that the UNESCO World Heritage Committee put pressure on Australia to deliver on its promise to restore the health of the Great Barrier Reef.
More than 500,000 WWF Activists called on world leaders to defend our shared natural heritage. Now an end to Great Barrier Reef dumping is imminent.
A full ban on dumping in the reef's World Heritage waters should come into force within months!
The committee recognized Australia's plans to prevent highly destructive industrial activities that could have damaged the reef. Our effort and your involvement worked!
Thank you for speaking out for the Reef and standing with us in action. We couldn't do it without you.
Sincerely,
Sara Thomas
