Original: Nearly half of world's reef-building coral species face extinction risk: Study

The findings add to concerns over the accelerating decline of coral reefs, which support vast marine biodiversity and coastal economies. Scientists link the threats largely to warming oceans, disease, pollution and habitat loss, prompting calls for stronger conservation and emissions action.
Why now: A major new scientific study on coral extinction risk is drawing widespread attention amid ongoing climate concerns.
