A campaign backed by plenty of Australian celebrities has kicked off with the aim of making the Great Barrier Reef an Australian Citizen - granting it protections that would save it from harm.

A major environmental campaign - called Citizen Reef - which calls for the world’s largest living organism, the Great Barrier Reef, to be granted citizenship in Australia, launched on Wednesday.

In doing so, the climate change damaged reef would be awarded the same rights and protections as any other Australian citizen, including freedom from torture, the highest standard of health and most importantly, the right to life.

Citizen Reef will see LADbible Australia and public figures appeal to the concerned public to get behind the environmental awareness campaign by signing a petition that will directly alert the Department of Home Affairs of their support.
