IUCN warns 96% of world's coral reefs could collapse by 2075

The IUCN report projects that up to 96% of warm-water coral reefs could collapse by 2075 under current climate and human pressures. The claim is based on modeled projections, not direct observation, and the timeline is long-term. This matters because coral reef loss would disrupt marine biodiversity, coastal protection, and fisheries-dependent economies.
