How does Uluru have a greater chance of surviving then the great barrier reef?

The Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest coral reef system composed of over 2,900 individual reefs and 900 islands stretching for over 2,300 kilometres over an area of approximately 344,400 square kilometres. The reef is located in the Coral Sea, off the coast of Queensland, Australia.

The Reef is highly vulnerable. In the past three decades, it has lost half its coral cover, pollution has caused deadly starfish outbreaks, and global warming has produced horrific coral bleaching. Coastal development also looms as a major threat.

The Uluru on the other hand Uluru, or Ayers Rock, is a massive sandstone monolith in the heart of the Northern Territory’s arid "Red Centre". The nearest large town is Alice Springs, 450km away. Uluru is sacred to indigenous Australians and is thought to have started forming around 550 million years ago. It’s within Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, which also includes the 36 red-rock domes of the Kata Tjuta (colloquially “The Olgas”) formation.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Uluru has a greater chance of surviving than the Great Barrier Reef because:

There are little or no pollutions in the Uluru. About a decade ago, government reported that tourists were using the Uluru as toilet. Scientifically speaking this is great for the ecosystem. Being a semi-arid terrain, human compost will only serve to enrich the flora. Of course there are hazards that come with inhaling the gases that emanate from such activities. In addition to that, having to walk over human waste is exactly what a tourist would want to pay for.

Compared to the Chemical pollution that has ravaged the Great Reef Barrier, where pollutants from fertilizers smother coral reefs, speeding the growth of damaging algae, and lowering the water quality, the Uluru stands a better chance of survival. The ongoing Great Reef Pollution also making corals more susceptible to disease, and impedes coral growth and reproduction, while causing changes in food structures on the reef.

It's easy to reclaim deserts than it is to reclaim a reef.
