"There are no other Everglades in the world.

They are, they always have been,

one of the unique regions of the earth,

remote, never wholly known.

Nothing anywhere else is like them..."

an estimated 27% of our planet’s coral reefs

have already disappeared!

In addition,

the 1998 Reefs at Risk report

"estimated that at least 58% of

the world’s coral reefs

 directly are threatened by human activity."
