Descend beneath the azure waters and an other-wordly underwater landscape of colourful corals greets you. Australia's Great Barrier Reef is home to some 2,000 individual coral reefs known to be the most diverse in the world. However, they are under threat. Climate change, blamed for higher temperatures and ocean acidity threaten to reduce bio-diversity and wipe out sensitive species of coral not only in the Great Barrier Reef but around the world. -- OVE HOEGH-GUILDBERG
