## Resource

The Great Barrier Reef narrowly avoided an endangered status as the UN World Heritage Committee issued a stark warning, citing escalating threats from climate change and pollution. While relieved, Australia’s federal and Queensland governments are doubling down on reforms — including new land-clearing rules near waterways and a $330 million investment — to protect this $9 billion tourism engine and its 77,000 jobs, as the reef’s resilience fades with each bleaching event.
