Call for Australia to show Unesco it's 'walking the walk' on Great Barrier Reef

Conservationists say climate change threat must be addressed to avoid reef's inclusion on 'in-danger' list

Conservationists say an official government report to the UN's world heritage committee to be released next week must show Australia has fresh plans to attack the Great Barrier Reef's two key threats - climate change and water quality.

At a forum earlier this month environment ministers signed-off on the "state of conservation" report for the reef,which was then sent to Unesco's world heritage committee.
