What would you do if there was no more water?
![Page 8: Coral reef (finalcopy) meg g and joanna r](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081413/546fc34faf7959cc168b4698/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Coral reefs are the most
endangered animal on the planet!
Already 10% of the coral reefs on earth have been completely destroyed.
And in the Philippines over 70% have been destroyed and only 5% are in good condition.
