The world s largest coral reef system, according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization, should be added to the list at the world heritage committee meeting next month.
The recommendation has generated a flurry of action from the Australian government, with Sussan Ley, the environment minister, stating she had already called Unesco s director-general, Audrey Azoulay, along with Foreign Affairs Minister Marise Payne.
Experts say that if the committee follows the suggestion, it will be the first time a natural world heritage site has been listed as at-risk due to climate change consequences.
The country's majestic corals were destroyed when Hurricane Iris struck southern Belize in 2001. Fortunately, the coral reef was radically brought back to life after a ten-year restoration project.
