If all goes well, the giant triton snails—or even just their scent—could stand guard over the declining reefs.

Greenpeace said listing the World Heritage Site as endangered would have forced the Australian government to act on climate change.

Two thirds of the coral reef—designated a world heritage site—have been damaged, according to aerial surveys.

The New York Times announced that "Trump Risks the Planet." But the evidence suggests otherwise.
