The threat to coral reefs

Coral reefs are home to many marine species, and they help protect coastlines from storms and floods. At least 50% of coral reefs have died over the last 30 years, as a result of pollution and physical destruction.



Usborne has made a donation to the International Coral Reef Society, which represents scientists working on coral reefs and funds local research and education programmes. We're also publishing an exciting range of books about coral reef in 2021 and 2022 – from Magic Painting to Peep Inside.
