Coral reefs

Coral reefs, like this one in French

Polynesia, make up about one percent

of the ocean floor—but they are home

to almost a quarter of all ocean species.

Lots of fish, such as these gold-lined sea

breams, gather in the reefs to eat.

New Guinea forests

Forests cover two-thirds of

the island of Papua New

Guinea. Around 760 bird

species and 25,000 plant

species live here, as does

the Goodfellow’s tree

kangaroo, which climbs

trees to eat leaves.
