The Australian government is about to decide whether to create an enormous marine park to ensure the survival of the majestic Coral Sea (and its amazing creatures!). Right now, our support could make or break their decision.

On the table: a one-million-square-kilometre marine park to give these playful but endangered inhabitants a real shot at survival. The Australian government is receiving public comments now and is on the cusp of creating something truly legendary – but without a jolt of encouragement from people around the world, the Environment Minister could settle for preserving a much tinier area that wouldn’t satisfy any of the core conservation needs for this magnificent patch of ocean.

The next parliamentary session starts in a few days – let’s help lawmakers make history in the run-up to the Rio+20 Earth Summit and set the global standard for saving our planet. Send your message now to the public consultation, and for every 10 emails once we reach 200,000, we’ll add a fish to a giant, colorful school greeting parliamentarians as they take their seats!
