Belize's Barrier Reef is no longer endangered

Hundreds of Belizians and international supporters gather on an island to form a message on the Barrier Reef off the coast of Belize City November 13, 2010. The message, which was to call on humanity to be in harmony with the natural world, was created on the final day of the three-day Belize Reef Summit and is part of the launch of the Harmony Initiative, a partnership between the film "Harmony" narrated by Britain's Prince Charles and the Global Campaign for Climate Action.
