The Dead Sea

The recession of the Dead Sea has begun causing problems, and multiple canals and pipelines proposals exist to reduce its recession.

The Great Barrier Reef

Owing to threats such as climate change, overfishing, and ship traffic, the Great Barrier Reef is slowly deteriorating. The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority considers the greatest threat to the Great Barrier Reef to be climate change, causing ocean warming which increases coral bleaching. As global warming continues, corals will not be able to keep up with increasing ocean temperatures. Coral bleaching events lead to increased disease susceptibility, which causes detrimental ecological effects for reef communities.

Kasbah Telouet, Morocco

Once home to the powerful El Glaoui family, this popular Moroccan tourist destination sits collapsing from erosion in the Atlas Mountains. To preserve this ancient family destination, a project was announced in 2010 to restore and preserve whatever that is left of the place.

Venice, Italy

By the next century, Venice will face an average flood of 100 times a year and this is the only reason that Venice city is at risk of sinking. Though Venice offers amazing cuisine, intimate gondola rides through the city’s epic canals, the city might be on the verge of sinking in the next century. 

Amazon Rainforest, Brazil

Spanning an impressive 2 million miles, the Amazon Rainforest is the largest rainforest on Earth. Mining and deforestation threaten this natural habitat and all the species that reside there. In September 2019, the Amazon rainforest was burning at a rate not seen in almost a decade. It was decried as a global tragedy.
