burnt down : prétérit ( action datée, passée )

has been destroyed : présent perfect ( constat + adverbe de fréquence "already" )

2. Since its first "lights-out" event in 2007, Earth Hour has grown to engage more than 7,000 cities and towns worldwide.

has grown : présent perfect ( il y a une année, mais "since" nous indique qu'il s'agit d'un point de départ ... donc pas de prétérit )

3. Australia's natural wonder is in danger: 22% of its coral have died this year and experts say it could be too late for the rest.

have died: présent perfect ( indice "this year" )

4. Experts say the last decade has been the hottest in history with land and sea temperatures reaching an average 58 degrees Fahrenheit.

has been : présent perfect ( "the last decade" peut donner envie d'utiliser le prétérit. Mais dans cette phrase, ce n'est pas le passé qui est souligné mais l'impact, les conséquences sur le présent )

;)
