This 7 January 2017 video is about a unique beautiful ecosystem recently discovered in Brazil: the Amazon reef, where the Amazon river flows into the Atlantic ocean. Mangrove and coral reefs are home there to many vulnerable animal species.

Greenpeace is waging opposition to that.
A petition to defend the Amazon reef is here.
A SEA of inflatable marine creatures descended outside BP’s international headquarters in London yesterday to protest against a “catastrophic” drilling project near a newly discovered South American reef. Greenpeace activists marched along The Mall and past Trafalgar Square holding placards reading: “BP, Back off the Amazon reef” before arriving at the oil giant’s headquarters: here.
