It's a cautionary tale with a twist. Unless we do more to protect them, coral reefs could become extinct by 2050 due to pollution & climate change. This video was released just ahead of the landmark Copenhagen summit on climate change in order to draw attention to the plight of these fragile ecosystems. Sadly, the summit ended in failure -- and the future of our reefs is still at risk.

who else is watching for homework?
I'm watching because I care about the future of our oceans.
nope, watching it so that we don't kill our planet
Me
yea I got a an essay on this
Then you notice that nothing is happening and that this is just buzzword central
As a member of many different reef protection and rebuilding groups, I have watched governments make huge promises and fail to keep them. There are a hand full of Coral Farmers, Hobbyists and Businesses that are working on solutions and we have came up with a number of different experimental programs, one such program is off the coast of Tampa FL where hobbyists have teamed with scientists to start replanting a coastal reef system. It can not be left to governments any longer as they fail to act
My fears have always been true since a child I knew and as children will come to know my heart breaks
This is so sad and so inspiring. I don't want corals to die
I hope it is not too late for these wonderful underwater worlds. I have dived on the GBR and know how beautiful they are. Thanks Earthtouch for this moving video.
Coral is so beautiful who wouldn't want to save it? It's time to save the coral reefs be fore its too late😦
I agree!
+Kimberly Ellsworth You vegan too :) :) ?
I dont really like my local fish store because they poison fish to catch them from the reefsand the corals died
Getting past the ignorance of the deniers will be tough.
Coral Reefs: exists
Human, Climate change,...: So u have chosen... death
ruclips.net/video/itCQSSKwfHo/видео.html
Why this video only has 61,151 views? We need to help spread the word about coral reef extinction. Many people are just ignorant to this problem.
Dats why i pick this for my project about making laws, its surely is alarming
LOL
No need its not true ; ruclips.net/video/Aw86_qQHtH4/видео.html
Thank you for this wonderful video! you inspired me to pursue my architectural thesis about saving coral reefs! together, let's all help mother Earth become healthy again!
Important, please watch ...Do we still have time to stop it, or do something about it, from it’s further deterioration, or we just don’t bother, and are we given up ?!?
It’s very sad, to loose something, so precious that gave life to this planet dying in front us in our life time!!
this needs so many more views.
Thank you for making such an informative video with such an emotional touch. I hope that everyone can collectively make a difference and you have done your part with this exceptional video. I am not usually emotionally moved by informative videos but this seemed to be an exception.
Thank you for making such a brilliant video on such and urgent and important problem that needs to be addressed and solved.
Thanks :D
Everyone should share this. This affects every beating heart on this planet.
We still have HOPE of saving the coral reefs people! We must work hard and study hard so we can have an impact on the current issue and stop climate change and human pollution!! Now is the time to act.
Something make me sad. How the could be improve these thing? Including me.
i just read about the death of the great barrier reef,and it really hurts to know even this estimation was better than the reality.
Watch this, and be relieved ; ruclips.net/video/Aw86_qQHtH4/видео.html
It's honestly devastating to see what the future of coral reefs will look like, and I'm glad they showed it through the prospective of the future generations. This is such an eye opener which shows how much limited time we have to right our wrongs. Even the smallest diffrences can make such a drastic changes to things which are way more important than our selfish wants. Lets make a difference by spreading the message and thinking carefully on how we can change our ways of living to help ocean ecosystems and the beautiful corals reefs all around the world☺.
This is so sad. I wish that our governments collectively would make more of an effort to fix these problems.
Thank you for the video. I didn't know coral reef was so important for ocean wildlife to survive.
Deeply thought provoking , hats off to you all.
1. thanks for the video it really help me with my assessment 2. i will try my hardest to make shore that this get to as many people as possible 3. if i don't do anything in my life time does that mean that my kid want see the reef

Im terrified just to think about this.
im terrified as well. its still not too late for us to make a change!
Hope whats done could be undone
+Alex Bouman I chose to pull out of Animal Ag (meaning I do not purchase animal food products) after researching the business and where all of the waste goes. For more information check 'Eating Animals" or "Cowspiracy."
Very compelling video! Can you imagine if it included the reality of the triple nuclear meltdown in Japan (Fukushima) that has been pouring into the Pacific Ocean every day since March 11, 2011?
Thanks, Luke.
The Great Barrier Reef has existed for an incredibly long time. It has survived ice ages and global warming in the past, including when it was hotter than it is now. It has grown and shrunk during all of its life. The coral reefs of PNG (same species of coral that occur in the Great Barrier Reef) survive in water 2 degrees hotter.
Taq Hallus They do not survive in water that acidifies faster than they can adapt to it.
does it really work if we decrease our co2 emission below 350 ppm.
This is so touching
Powerful video!
Its 2016. We need to act NOW,we are only a few decades away from 2050 when all coral reefs are extinct as well as parrotfish,shrimpfish, and clownfish, soon maybe even turtles who also live in coral reefs. We need to act.I do not want to tell make grandchildren that coral reefs were extinct.
I have been following this crisis on the internet for quite a while and I think that the only way for change to happen is to create artificial reefs that are placed in favorable conditions. More Ocean Sanctuaries, less oil consumption, a limit on the boats we use to transport supplies, change the dragging technique of fishing (trawling) to a more favorably environmentally safer method. But after all, we humans are so greedy and cannot see the beauty that the ocean holds.
Profoundly sad
This makes me want to cry
I fear that it is to late for the reefs and that we will do nothing to save them :{
9:43 IT'S CORAL DAY
MY DUDES
We're already eight years past 2010. The Great barrier reef is almost dead. We lost 70% of it.
In Honolulu,Hawaii Waikiki use to have coral reefs, now they starting to disappear because of adding more sand to the see and so much not native species in our waters that is hurting our coral reefs.
I've watched this video, by stumbling onto it under the topic coral and this video brought me to tears.... Seeing this unchanging fate closer towards us breaks my heart and makes my soul feel empty. Why is it people only realise the impact of their actions after they do it?? Why is it that always the same mistakes are repeated and humans tend to care only for themselves. Our world is crumbling and barely someone cares (Im not neglecting the ones who are working hard snd saving it with what little resources they have). I want to know more on how I could reduce the emition of co2 on my part, we have to try our hardest to save the world ocean before we lose everything. This has to be publicly shown somehow, so common sense could be put into peoples mind. Hopefully with Gen Z moving as the main generation for these upcoming decades it can put a stop to these issues. To start this however all of us should look at each other on how we can help make a change, no matter how small it is every ounce of help is needed... More so than ever
I cried too
awesome vid
This really made me cry. I don't give a shit if people are laughing because they are the stupid ones. They may laugh at my movies and heroes values but you are the ones who mistaken. We are watching our world dying day by day. Human who, for me, should be the Guardian of Earth and species is failing its own role. I won't let my world dying I will do all that I can do. The "end of ages" won't happen as long as I am still alive. If I may have children before being sterile because of shitting products that worldwide compagnies are selling, I don't want to say to them, that I, with the human kind, we killed billions of beings for our own comfort and wealth and that now they live in this netherworld because of us. Because we were so selfish, so blinkered and so imperfect in our role to the point where our own mother, Nature is getting rid of us. Because we failed in our role of Protector so maybe she tries to find a better Guardian, a better child. Because Nature doesn't need Humans and she already proved it so many times. If some people are looking for a God or a Goddess it may be that one.
As stupid as Human can be I think that as we already did last century and with all the goodwill of the World, we can prove we can do good and we deserve to live and grow better such as all the other species who lived and live on Earth. We have so much to discover yet.
The script is brilliant!
How much reefs do we damage in harvesting!! Just for Aquascaping purposes
+Tag Tagger
Yes, because we are pulling out almost a million ton solely for aquascaping purpose and that is a lot!! if we can stop that only, it will affect considerably a lot
+Hitu Lachhar Whas it was.Captive breed tangs were breed by Oceanic institute 2 weeks ago and you complain?How about save the Amazon!We still take from lakes fish and please don't talk about that.The two only hopes for reefs are:Fishkeeping and the captive breeding which inevitably will become a reality and less co2 emisions.That is a puerile though like"we take a lot of tons".You live in the past.And the wild chickens are endangered so that means that 56% of plants and animals in the world are endangered.But must take actions as well before it's too late.I guess that you should blame a nearly harmless no effect hobby(for now because of advancements)just to press a cheap cent.
+Hitu Lachhar 1% of persnos do scuba diving in lakes and seas.So you expect to see a growing cotage?Nope.A nano reef tank is enough.Water is for fish and land is for us.You know......
..
NOTHING!
+Tag Tagger I didn't reply earlier because I have more important things to deal. I don't see a reason why you look so mad at me like I did some real damage to you.
You don't even know who you are talking to so why don't you keep your fingers from typing all the shit without knowing who you are talking to.
+Tag Tagger and just to give you a sense of it. You are talking to someone who cares enough about any natural resources, let it be reefs. I designed artificially produced live rocks which sustained lifeforms for the first time in the history and won an international engineering design award for doing so and the project was backed by the biggest aquarium suppliers of North America and by the biggest public aquarium company in North America. Let's just say that I know what I am talking about and I have valid data to believe in it.
Where I can get this film.
Hi, this is not an extract from a full-length film. This production was created to be screened online, so this is the full version. You are welcome to embed this video anywhere you'd like on the web though :-)
what to do to help saving what left?
poner on that one
English mine good not today
us humans should dissapear and live inthe wild for a couple of years to let the ecosystem relive
Olhem digam ai os niveis de hierarquia biologica
It's so sad :'(
We have to save our beautiful reef, coral, fish, EVERYTHING> It is the only Reef as beautiful as it is, in the whole world as we know it We must do everything in our power
to protect it. Stop the trawlers, boats, machinery, dredging. The REEF IS BEGGING. Save me.
.
I think it dates back further than 2010. Think, when did the world be come commercialised? Easy to blame the parents harder to fix their mistakes with a government like this in place.
l cry really cry see this tragedy because being humans destrctor
if you get that emotional over things you don't understand, you will always weep till your demise. Yet you're viewing this video brought to you by technology that may have, in your own mind, contributed to the destruction.
When its 2020 and not much has happened 😶😔
It's so convincing due to the fact that she sounds just like Alice from Resident Evil *0*
I hate home work
Maybe Sunday could be my no technology, no cars day(if possible), and no light day. Also I can walk to art class instead of drive
That sounds like a great plan!
and don't eat sea food! that can help too... :)
We could but not china and many many industrial countries.
its a good video but the lip smacking is a problem
On a constructive note if you really want to make a difference use paper not plastic. And pick one day a week and donate your time to pick up trash off the beaches. It's ok to use a car to get there it will give you more time to clean. There are groups of people who do this here in my town. I think it's a great practical way to make an actual difference. Also NEVER release non native fish or plant life into the environment they or parasite in or on them can cause detrimental effects on the environment , Way more that any warming.
And when you pick up that trash and throw into the dumpster where do you think it will go? One planet one place to dump it. Welcome to modern thinking.
Coral is dying because of climate change’s warming oceans, not plastic...
Respect sea reefs
if you guys want to help coral reefs. don't eat any sea food. over fishing is killing our beautiful ocean.....
I already stopped eating sharks(it wasnt delicious so i stopped and only ate 1 bowl),salmon,and gourami
The problem is, it's not just over fishing. It's temperature changes, acidity changes, and countless other problems. Just telling people not to eat seafood isn't gonna work, if we want to save the reefs and our oceans we need to join the fight and get areas protected, donate money to organizations researching how to help grow coral and repopulate the reefs. Among countless other things.
What killed the Caribbean was sediment from clearing farm land, I believe farm runoff and Fukushima are a bigger threat than a gradual temperature increase over a decade.
NO!!!

how can we reduce CO2 level?
Hi Thomas. We're glad to hear that you want to make a difference. Reducing CO2 emissions can be as simple as using less electricity, eating less red meat or recycling.
Climate change can be reduced if everyone does their bit. Try to use less electricity, where you can walk or cycle rather than using a car, try to convince whoever buys your household groceries to get them from farmer's markets rather than mainstream grocery outlets, and make sure that you recycle plastics, metals and paper (if possible, just avoid buying products that use these materials).
Most importantly, spread awareness! You can tell your friends and families to do their bit as well (obviously feel free to share this video with people) and let everyone know that there are things you can do to help the world's oceans.
i heard a great idea for street lights that has sensors on them so they only lights up if someone is around. that is a great idea. thank you btw! its for my coral reef assignment.
Thomas Fitzgerald bloomer That sounds like a great idea! Glad we could be of assistance.
+Earth Touch Why are you saying only red meat? Animal Ag is the #1 cause of this. Why would you restrict it to only cows?
vote only for governments who support solar and wind energy, and use renewable energy instead of coal fired power.
Why are there 75 dislikes?😔
It is necessary on the surface of the sea
those damn people there just makierng the water more dangours there not donig anything to help
?
??
???
I wish she was here in Belize to see the largest living reef😢
I'd be willing to bet most people watching this video believe in evolution, So who's not to say that this is just the next stage of evolution of our planet.
I bet that's not going to happen in the future
@kaitelg370 LDS good for him, seriously though calm the fuck down, people are trying to fix it, you nagging on the internet won't help anything.
Gbr been growing for over 10 000 years through climate change....whats the hubbub ???
how much i hope it wont be, i think that this video will be actually relevant in 2065 and that it wil be true.
Now, 10 years after the point we had to change co2 emission, it only got worse.
World leaders and big company CEO's need to worry about the future and not about making money and gaining power while they are alive.
ANENEMY? ARE YOU KIDDING ME!
What?
@@polyater they said ANENEMY, when its ANEMONE. These fucking idiots
It does seem over alarmist. Too bad the commentary spoiled the video.
the commentary made it seem like the whole world would die instantly.
I feel so sorry and.................GUILTY!! Humans are the worst!! they killed those beautiful corals and fishes.. :'( HUMANS NEED TO MAKE A CHANGE!! I MEAN WE NEED TO MAKE A GHANGE!! hehe... ): ( and i love corals too. :'(
OUR GREED is killing EVERYTHING .-/
💔
who is that girl Molly George, her voice is really beautiful at 15 years old
Like to stop global warming 🙀😿
no we cant we are living in the now not the future
It was dogsh1t then and it's dogsh1t now. The Great Barrier Reef's coral cover has reached the greatest extent ever recorded.
If we look at the Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network (GCRMN) data (which isn't ideal for various reasons) the WIO (West Indian Ocean) shows 26% hard coral cover in 1985 upto 30% in 2020. South Asia reefs shows a decline around 2000 to below 25% then a regrowth to around 40% (2010) and a decline to 25% (2020). The Red Sea shows no change at around 25% (1995-2020). So the pattern in these three areas show no relationship to each other or to a changing climate.
GCRMN data for the most important coral bioregion, the East Asia Seas, with 30% of the world’s coral reefs, and containing the most diverse coral of the ‘Coral Triangle’, show no statistically significant net coral loss since records began. The East Asia region has the biggest human population living in close proximity to reefs, and is located in the Indo-Pacific Warm Pool - the hottest major water mass on earth.
Sad ...But ill always have my reef tank at home....
I would expect nothing less from scut farcus
I gotta do class work on this
yo this shit is scary lol
It's sad that just a little bit in the future all of these beautiful coral reefs will be gone forever because people don't care and only care about money and power. It's also depressing that our presidents aren't doing anything about it and don't care. Next up after the coral reefs are trees and then we are done for good. Although this might be a good thing because if there are no humans then life might come back to earth years later. If only our governments put the amount of care that they put in security to hide nad things and used this care and power to save the ocean's ecosystem.
Blame it on the French and USA that tested 100s of Nukes in the Pacific and near our Australian Shores!! And Stop blaming AUSTRALIA!!
Who was elected in 2010?
I'm pretty sure it was obama
Am I the only one that find her voice creepy!?... LOL
Trawlers kill everything!!!
Wont the fish with genetic abnormalities, suited to survive without reefs, dominate the populations and continue the trend of evolution and natural selection?
good point, but could the rapid change in their environment be to rapid for them to adapt?
is it natural selection though..... did you really think that through xD. There will be no adaptation if the environment is changing so rapidly.
SNEZ HD The only way adaptation would fail is if the environment changed so fast that all life died in a few generations.
umm.. all forms or coral will be dead in a few decades.. i dont see it adapting. What will be next. food providers, bigger animals. It wont stop
SNEZ HD I've googled it sufficiently. The projections are that the majority of corals _might_ be gone by 2100 if the temperature rises 2ºC, but corals are adapting and it is unknown how many will survive future bleaching events. Ive seen numbers between 20-80%.
So were the dinosaurs lol. Around lol.
People evolved and have done what they have done to this planet, now the planet will adapt and evolve to survive. Who's to say the coral reefs that come after the ones that will be destroyed by suppos'd global warming will not be more spectacular than the ones we have now. I am not saying that we should be going out of our way to destroy the planet by unnecessary means, people are selfish and will always put themselves first , I am only saying the planet will recover and evolve a whole new set of species as it has for millions of years.
This is to sad I wanna kms
This person is pretty toxic, but its true so... Did the video say all the coral reefs were gone by 2009 though? That is not true for sure. 2010 is 10 years too late now in 2020.
Question: How to save the corals?
Answer: Impeach Trump.
You have been told climate lies, The GBR is fine.
Coral reefs are not in that much danger anymore. Read the scientific literature on the topic, you will see that the people saying that reefs are in danger are solely saying so because it promotes "last chance tourism" and that the reefs are being more well managed. These sob stories are really trashy and leave a bad taste in my mouth.
We are still emerging from a mini ice age, (~500 yrs ago) so of course there is a long term trend towards warming. Carbon dioxide can make cold water less alkaline, but warm waters actually lose CO2 to the atmosphere, so no ‘acidification’. There are many causes of coral reef death, but global warming is not the culprit, nor is its infinitesimally small CO2 component. Current short term (~20 year) temperature trends are going down, not up. Get your facts straight before you take in all this BS, friends. Look at data, not biased rubbish, and base your opinions on that instead.
Im terrified just to think about this.
Blame it on the French and USA that tested 100s of Nukes in the Pacific and near our Australian Shores!! And Stop blaming AUSTRALIA!!
