10 Endangered and At-Risk Species

Endangered: Coral Reefs

Why we need them: They are home to fish, in turn providing food to about a million people in Asia. They also help to prevent erosion. Why they are endangered: a rise in sea temperatures caused in part by global warming is causing bleaching and stress damage to the reefs.
