While in the past Australians wrestled with what the Reef is, today they are
struggling to reconcile what it will be ... To do this, we need to understand
the Reef' s intertwining human story. The Great Barrier Reef has come to
dominate Australian imaginations and global environmental politics. Saving the
Reef charts the social history of Australia' s most prized yet vulnerable
environment, from the relationship between First Nations peoples and colonial
settlers, to the Reef' s most portentous moment – the Save the Reef campaign
launched in the 1960s. Through this gripping narrative and interwoven
contemporary essays, historian Rohan Lloyd reveals how the Reef' s continued
decline is forcing us to reconsider what ‘ saving' the Reef really means.
