Coral Reefs
1950 CE - 2022 CE
"Called the 'tropical rainforests of the oceans,' coral reefs cover less than 1% of the Earth's surface but are home to 25% of all marine fish species. Vulnerable to climate change it is estimated that 70% of the world's reefs will be destroyed within the next 40 years."
