## Resource

Australia’s Great Barrier Reef is defying doom predictions with record-breaking coral recovery—2024 hit an all-time high, and the last five years are the best in 40 years. Despite headlines calling it “devastated” or “highly vulnerable,” the reef’s rebound is driven by natural factors like cooling monsoons, not government spending. While bleaching and fluctuations remain threats, the data shows a resilient ecosystem that’s thrived against the odds—and the narrative of collapse may be overstating the crisis.
