The most important reef in America leaves the list of World Heritage in danger of Unesco
The barrier reef in Belize has received the first relief measures after almost ten years in decline. The rise of tourist activities, overfishing and oil exploration concessions have had one of the most important marine biodiversity treasures in the world against the ropes. Distinguished since 1996 as World Heritage by UNESCO, in 2009 this site was placed on the list in danger by the same international organization due to its deterioration.
