Reading Two young people tell us about visiting a national park in their country.
A Great Barrier Reef, Mareine park, Australia
Chloe Morton
The Great Barrier Reef has become one of the global symbols of just how fragile nature can be. There's no doubt
that the reef is something we have to preserve very carefully for future generations. The diversity of life in the
area is breathtaking! I had an exciting opportunity to help out with a team of marine scientists to see what effect
human activity is having on the reef. The area is divided up into zones and there are limits on different activities
within each zone. This minimises the impact of some activities, such as diving, while still allowing people to enjoy
the stunning natural beauty of the reef. If we had done something like that years ago, the reef would be in a
much better state now! Unfortunately, past mistakes and a changing climate mean that parts of the reef are
struggling to recover. Let's hope we can improve its cultivation for the future.
