The World Wildlife Fund said the reef requires funding of “billions not millions” to reverse its decline. “The reef needs a massive new injection of funds now, backed up by enforceable targets. Repackaging existing commitments will simply not be enough,” said Dermot O’Gorman, chief executive of WWF Australia. “If done properly, this could be a game changer in our efforts to turn around reef health. We must also ensure that any new investments in the reef’s health are not undermined by destructive activities such as dredging and dumping in the world heritage area.”
