UNESCO World Heritage Committee not to place the Great Barrier Reef on its world heritage in-danger list.
The Australian Government strongly welcomes the final and unanimous decision of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee not to place the Great Barrier Reef on its world heritage in-danger list.
The final decision reflects the tremendous effort of Australia to carefully protect this iconic national and international asset through the development of the recently released Reef 2050 Plan.
This decision is great news for Australia. It’s great news for Queensland. And it’s great news for the Great Barrier Reef. The world’s umpire has declared the Great Barrier Reef is not in danger. It is Australia’s greatest natural icon and remains the world’s Great Barrier Reef.
