The Great Barrier Reef
Australia’s Natural Treasure

Welcome to Australia’s Great Barrier Reef! The 2,000 — kilometre long reef is the 0) largest (large) (огромный) coral reef system in the world — it is so big that it can be seen from space!
Like many other coral reefs in the world, the Great Barrier Reef is in danger. The numbers of fish and other creatures that live here have fallen 1) drastically (значительно) in recent years because of pollution. We need your help to protect this unique ecosystem.

Help us protect the water

The sea around the reefs has been seriously harmed over the years, but you can help reverse this. Don’t throw rubbish into the sea as it may contain chemicals that will pollute the water. Rubbish might also float to the surface, which isn’t pretty for 2) anyone (ни для кого) to look at! Help us to keep the water crystal clear so that it can be enjoyed by 3) everyone (всеми).

Help us protect the coral

Remember that the reef is very much a 4) living (живой) organism! It has been formed over thousands of years by the 5) activity (деятельность) of tiny creatures called coral polyps. We have to protect these creatures if the reef is to survive. If you are camping on a beach, please be 6) careful (внимательны) what you do with any waste water. Washing-up liquid and bleach can be fatal to coral. If anyone offers to sell you a piece of coral, don’t buy it. If you see coral for sale in a shop, tell the authorities 7) immediately (сразу же).

Help us protect the wildlife

The reef is home to 1,500 species of tropical fish, over 200 types of bird and 20 species of reptile, including (включительно) the endangered Green Sea Turtle. It is also a breeding ground for humpback whales from the Antarctic. Remember — all these creatures depend on the reef for their 9) survival (выживание).
Please never fish for 10) anything (никакую)! Many species of fish are in danger of 11) extinction (вымирания) and therefore protected by law. The same goes for shellfish and other creatures. They may look 12) beautiful (красивыми), but remember the reef is their home. How would you feel if 13) someone (кто-нибудь) picked and took far from home?

Please help us to conserve Australia’s natural treasure so that it can be enjoyed for 14) generations (поколениями) to come!
