Question

A study completed in 2004 found that seventy percent of our coral reefs are already destroyed or currently under threat of destruction. It also concluded that much of the wreckage to reefs has been caused by humans. The resiliency of the reefs is on our side, though. More can be done now to help the coral reefs bounce back—even flourish. What is meaning of the word "resiliency” in this context?

Answer 1

To me, the word resiliency in this context means: the ability to recover from a situation, willingness.

Hope this helps!!

Answer 2

The word "resiliency" is referring how hardy and tough the reefs are because even though humans have wrecked a large amount of the reefs, they are still strong enough to rebuild themselves.
