Reefs are generally considered healthy in the Austral and Gambier island groups of French Polynesia, which are well removed from most human disturbances. However large-scale coral bleaching events have been observed in parts of French Polynesia in response to warming mean monthly temperatures. Global warming is likely to impact the habitat of this species. source : www.iucnredlist.org #embroidery #broderie #canthigaster #pufferfish #fish #tetraodontidae #tetraodon #poisson #endangeredspecies #especesmenacees #habitatloss #globalwarming #climatechange #bleaching #rechauffementclimatique #changementclimatique https://www.instagram.com/daphnemarguenejamet/p/BwRYgMxlrC9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=m5yg0vicd1fd
