Yeah, it’s not a lot percentually: that coral reef is estimated to be roughly 4600 square kilometers (though I found another source saying it to be over 26000).
But then again, the Amazon Forest is 6,7 million square kilometers, so if you look at just the numbers, it doesn’t seem like much if 10 000 square kilometers is lost every year.
