It is home to a wondrous variety, including 75% of the world's coral species and around 2500 species of fish. The biological and environmental diversity is driven by the volcanically active and complex geology of the so-called 'Ring of Fire'. Habitats range from underwater slopes of volcanic black sand to extensive coral reefs in atolls and vast calderas. While clearly vulnerable to increasing global threats such as climate change, pollution, and overfishing, the Coral Triangle currently features some of the richest coral reefs in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith stunning photography supported by engaging and accessible text, \u003cem\u003eAt the Heart of the Coral Triangle\u003c\/em\u003e highlights and celebrates this biodiversity along with the underlying message that it needs our care and protection before it is too late.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47605066072300,"sku":"9780367428167","price":93.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780367428167-at-the-heart-of-the-coral-triangle.jpg?v=1778122395"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/sancia-van-der-meij.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
