If the global warming
continues in the same way as it is now, the Great Barrier Reef and some
of the other places take no time to get washed out permanently. The
immediacy of these timelines tempts the people all over the world to
travel to these flimsy areas. When more and more people visit these
distressed places, there visit can have a positive effect as well as
negative effect. The positive effect is that when the tourists visit these sensitive areas they can provide income, which can be used to preserve these wonders. The negative aspect is that when more people start visiting these areas, their visit can add more strain to the already distressed areas.
Here are the top places which you must visit before they vanish due to global warming and other factors:
1. Great Barrier Reef:
At present, the threat in this Great Barrier Reef is that, around 25 percent of the world’s coral reefs have already disappeared and nearly 70 percent are under threat. Reena Ganga, Author of wanderplex.com, told that the problem for this threat is that of the climate changes which causes sea temperatures to rise, which intern bleaches the coral of its bright colors. This reef has already experienced several of these bleaching events. IF this climate changes go unchecked scientists are of the opinion that all the coral will be gone within a century.
China’s proposal to build dams on the Brahmaputra’s Tibetan stretch is threatening to kill the tributaries of one of the biggest rivers of South Asia. The river drastically loses its height when it enters India, creating several waterfalls and rapids, making the white waters ideal for rafting. This effort’s of China to generate more hydroelectricity is sure taking the charge away from India’s adventure tourism.
4. Madagascar:
The most important threat here is that in this place nothing is done to save this fourth largest island in the recent times. In future its forests will be destroyed in another 35 years, where the forest had spread to 120,000 square miles earlier and now it’s down to 20,000. Forest ecosystems are being destroyed by logging, burning for subsistence farms, and poaching. The 20 species of lemurs which were famous only in the Madagascar are in danger of disappearing. Some of the species found in Madagascar have never been recorded yet and even they are likely to disappear before they are recorded.
The threat in this region is that, from the last four decades, the Dead Sea has shrunk by a third and sunk 80 feet 13 inches every year. The Jordan River is the lake’s sole source and as surrounding countries increasingly tap its water, only little reaches the Dead Sea which could vanish within 50 years. Further pressure is put on the sea by the cosmetic companies and potash producers who drain it for minerals.
Any how, even though the tourist visit to these places is more of a
threat, the people who visit these places must be sensible enough to
keep in mind that their visit must not cause any kind of harm to those
distressed places. They must avoid doing things which can arm its
beauty.
Here are the top places which you must visit before they vanish due to global warming and other factors:
1. Great Barrier Reef:

The Great Barrier
Reef is the world’s largest reef system composed of over 2,900
individual reefs and 900 islands stretching from over 2,600 kilometers.
The reef is located in the Coral sea, off the coast of Queensland in
north-east Australia.We can find Swarms of neon-colored fish, vibrant
coral in vivid hues, algae, sharks and all sorts of strange darting life
forms in that reef system.
At present, the threat in this Great Barrier Reef is that, around 25 percent of the world’s coral reefs have already disappeared and nearly 70 percent are under threat. Reena Ganga, Author of wanderplex.com, told that the problem for this threat is that of the climate changes which causes sea temperatures to rise, which intern bleaches the coral of its bright colors.

2. Arunachal Pradesh:

Arunalchal Pradesh,
the northeastern state of India borders the states of Assam and Nagaland
to the south and shares international borders with Burma to the east,
Bhutan in the west and the People’s Republic of China in the north.
Majority of its part is claimed by China as part of South Tibet.
China’s proposal to build dams on the Brahmaputra’s Tibetan stretch is threatening to kill the tributaries of one of the biggest rivers of South Asia. The river drastically loses its height when it enters India, creating several waterfalls and rapids, making the white waters ideal for rafting.

3. Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania:

Mount Kilimanjaro, the
highest Mountain in Africa, is located in northern Tanzania. This
mountain has three peaks called the Shira Peak at 12,999 feet, Mawenzi
at 16,893 feet and Kibo at 19,341 feet. This mount is located within the
boundaries of Mount Kilimanjaro National Park.
This mount is not just for the mountaineering enthusiasts. This place
has fascinated and captured the imagination of innumerable people
through the ages. The threatening part is that, researchers claim that
about 85 percent of the snow that covered the mountain’s peak had
disappeared by 2007 and the glaciers on the mountain are shrinking and
thinning at the same time. Loss of vegetation around the mountain is
believed to have had an impact on this change.
4. Madagascar:

The Republic of
Madagascar is an island country located in the Indian Ocean off the
southeastern coast of Africa. This is the fourth largest island in the
world. Here we can find more than 80 percent of Madagascar’s flora and
fauna which are found nowhere in the else on Earth because of its
millions of years of isolation in the Indian Ocean of Africa.
The most important threat here is that in this place nothing is done to save this fourth largest island in the recent times. In future its forests will be destroyed in another 35 years, where the forest had spread to 120,000 square miles earlier and now it’s down to 20,000. Forest ecosystems are being destroyed by logging, burning for subsistence farms, and poaching. The 20 species of lemurs which were famous only in the Madagascar are in danger of disappearing. Some of the species found in Madagascar have never been recorded yet and even they are likely to disappear before they are recorded.
5. The Dead Sea:

The Dead Sea also
called the salt sea is a salt lake bordering Jordan to the east and
Israel and the West Bank to the west. It is the lowest spot on earth and
is believed to contain therapeutic minerals.
The threat in this region is that, from the last four decades, the Dead Sea has shrunk by a third and sunk 80 feet 13 inches every year. The Jordan River is the lake’s sole source and as surrounding countries increasingly tap its water, only little reaches the Dead Sea which could vanish within 50 years. Further pressure is put on the sea by the cosmetic companies and potash producers who drain it for minerals.
