Corals Dying
Personal memory by Miwako Tezuka
2018 CE • Cairns QLD, Australia
"I went to Australia with my 7-year-old niece this April to see the Great Barrier Reef, expecting to be able to show her the beauty of natural rainbow color. But what we witnessed was almost all white, like piles of skeletons. Corals of the Great Barrier Reef are dying really fast and my niece will never see the majestic view it once was."
