Answer 2

Coral Reefs

Explanation:

• "Coral reefs cover only 0.1  per cent of the ocean surface but sustain 25 per cent of the world's aquatic animals". The life diversity of coral reefs is in turn rivals that of the Amazon and New Guinean tropical forests.
• For  livelihoods, vital nutrition, protection against life-threatening storms & critical economic prospects, millions of people depend on coral reefs.
• Approximately half of the world's shallow coral reefs are now gone, and those life-sustaining "natural wonders" might disappear if immediate measures are  not taken in tackling  pollution, climate change, over-fishing & destructive coastal development.
