Bad news: on Earth there are attractions that are about to disappear.
They are blurred, crumbling, melting and simply disappearing into oblivion. And the most sad thing is that we are powerless to help them. The conclusion is one: if you are an avid traveler, you urgently need to adjust your route and first of all to visit there, where you can not soon get there. Unfortunately.
1. The Everglades (USA)
Many believe that this park is in greatest danger. He is threatened by rising sea level, the rapid development of technological progress, the emergence of new species of flora and fauna - all complicate the struggle.
2. The mosque of Timbuktu (Mali)
This UNESCO World Heritage site is hundreds of years old. But mosques are made of mud, and such building material does not adapt well to new climatic conditions.
3. The Dead Sea (Israel / Palestine / Jordan)
As a result of extraction of minerals, thousands of tons of water are annually taken from the sea. So if you still want to swim in WATER, it's time to buy vouchers.
4. The Great Wall (China)
Erosion has damaged large sections of the wall, so without a major overhaul it may not last long.
5. Machu Picchu (Peru)
Too much influx of tourists, regular landslides and erosion threaten this historic place.
6. The basin of the Congo (Africa)
According to scientists, by 2040 almost two-thirds of the plants and animals that live here can disappear.
7. The Amazon (Brazil)
The largest part of the largest forest in the world has been destroyed by logging. And if nothing changes, after a while the Amazon will completely disappear from the face of the Earth.
8. Glacier National Park (USA)
Of the 125 glaciers that were here in the 1800s, there are only 25. If no measures are taken, by 2030 there will not be a single glacier in the Glacier.
9. Tikal National Park (Guatemala)
Due to looting and regular fires, this landmark is in serious danger.
10. Joshua Tree National Park (USA)
The drought in California is so strong that the future of many trees in the park is under threat. And yes, even though it sounds strange, but the desert also needs water.
11. Venice (Italy)
Tourists adore this place. And if you have not been there yet, it is advisable to hurry up and ride on the gondola, until the city has gone under water.
12. The Galapagos Islands (Ecuador)
The islands will remain on the surface for the time being, but the nesting places of the Galapagos penguins are under threat. To save amusing birds, local authorities even thought about the construction of special penguin "hotels", remote from the shore, but are safe.
13. The Pyramids (Egypt)
They are threatened by erosion from sewage and pollution, a large number of tourists and urbanization.
14. External shoals (USA)
Sands along the shoreline are quickly destroyed, which threatens the existence of attractions such as Cape Hatteras, for example.
15. Seychelles
The islands are desperately trying to "hold their heads over the water," but its level rises rapidly.
16. Sundarban (India / Bangladesh)
Due to deforestation and rising sea level, this delta region is in serious danger.
17. Alpine glaciers (Europe)
They have the same problem as in the Glacier. It is very likely that even winter alpine resorts will soon start to work intermittently due to lack of snow.
18. Madagascar Forests (Madagascar)
From 300 thousand square kilometers of forests there were 50 thousand left.
19. The Great Barrier Reef (Australia)
Increasing the acidity of the ocean and its temperature can make it so that in the near future the reefs will be counted on the fingers.
20. Big Sur (USA)
The coastline is unlikely to disappear, but the mammal that lives here can be unbearable.
21. Taj Mahal (India)
The reasons are in all the same erosion and pollution.
22. Glaciers of Patagonia (Argentina)
South America is not protected from climate change. The rise in temperature leads steadily to the melting of glaciers.
23. The peak of Kilimanjaro (Tanzania)
Well, it's fair to say that the peak remains in place, but the glaciers on it are melting at a frantic speed.
24. Tuvalu
The highest point here is 4.6 m above sea level. What more can be said?
25. Maldives
The lowest country in the world can go under the water by the end of the century. The local government even started buying land in other regions.
