Aussie band 5 Seconds of Summer has been absolutely dominating the airwaves over the past few months. But they've taken time out of their busy schedule to get serious with you beautiful people.

The band wants you to know about the Great Barrier Reef and why it needs your help.

The boys have joined LADbible's fight to have the Great Barrier Reef, aka the largest living organism in the world, declared a citizen of Australia, so that she receives the same rights and care as a human being.

What have the oceans done for you lately? Well, lots actually.

For starters, they've been keeping you alive every day with the world's oceans generating most of the oxygen we breathe. In fact, marine plants produce 70 percent of the oxygen in the world's atmosphere.

Australian scientists recently found that seagrasses of The Great Barrier Reef are absorbing carbon dioxide at a relatively impressive rate, storing in the vicinity of 30 million tonnes of the global killer in The Great Barrier Reef region alone. But even the world's largest living organism can't keep this up forever.

So, we at LADbible Australia are committed to protecting the Great Barrier Reef by convincing the Australian Government to make her an Australian citizen.

Show your support here to grant the Great Barrier Reef her citizenship and get her the same rights that every living being on this planet deserves - the right to life.
