According to the National Geographic website reported that, in this world, there is some places, if you do not leave for, it will never disappear from this planet. Recently, the National Geographic Web site lists ten such "shelf life" of tourism destinations:
1. Dead Sea
Imagined a leisurely float on the waters of the
Dead Sea? It would quickly go in the past 40 years due to excessive diversion
of the lake water level has dropped 80 feet (about 25 meters).
The Dead Sea is an inland lake, located between
Jordan and Israel; in fact, the Dead Sea itself is already located at the
lowest point on Earth's land. In the 1950s, the Middle East countries,
including Jordan and Israel, have been truncated into the Dead Sea Jordan water
used for domestic water supply, resulting in the final amount of water into the
Dead Sea greatly reduced. A move that greatly reduces the Dead Sea's water
level, this trend is still continuing - an annual maximum dropped by nearly one
meter of water level.
2. Kyoto, Japan
With Japan's historic city of Kyoto continuously
toward modernization and Elektra • Alfred Lamy (Erica Avrami), a lot of
old-home construction are being destroyed. Elektra is a research and education director
of the World Heritage Foundation.
Erika said: "In a growing prosperity in the
environment, this is understandable, but at the same time, these are important
historical sites, to ensure that they will not be lost is a very important
thing."
A large group of blacktip reef sharks gather
near Tala Pa Island (Tetapare,), here is the southern hemisphere's largest area
of uninhabited tropical
island. Amphibian expert Robin Moore (Robin Moore) of the protection of
international organizations, so far, the islands have not yet met with the
misfortune suffered by the other islands in the Solomon Islands, the islands
has been almost wanton indiscriminate deforestation destroyed. Moore said:
"If you go to the Tala Pa Island, you can see a truly original island
paradise, you can swim with dugongs and a large group of blacktip reef
shark."
4. Glacier National Park in Montana
The territory of Montana's Glacier National Park
and perhaps soon will be faced with a serious and unworthy of the name dilemma:
some scientists expected, due to climate change, where glaciers will completely
disappear by around 2020.
According to the information announced on the
website of the project team: the disappearance of glaciers in the park will have
a significant impact to the park ecosystem, and these glaciers are long time visitor’s
cherished landscape.
5. Bhutan
Alfred Lamy, director of the World
Heritage Foundation, said: "With the long-isolated, landlocked country
Bhutan gradually began to contact and world Buddhist countries must strike a
balance between the development of tourism and to maintain its historical tradition."
For example, the monks living in the
country's remote Phajoding temple must maintain their religious practices, but
also to welcome the arrival of tourists. The arrival of more tourists, and to
maintain a balance between the more difficult it is.
6. South America, the Atlantic coastal forest
This photo taken in 2004, the Brazilian city of
Belo Horizonte Belo Horizonte, here is the famous Atlantic coastal forest is
located. The original forest area of 520,000 square miles (about 1.35 million square kilometers), geography
across the territory of Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina and Uruguay. However, due
to logging and agricultural development, and today this forest area has been
less than 7% of the initial area, and were scattered like isolation dispersed,
a few slices of an area of less than 6 acres (2.4 hectares).
7. Tanzania, Kilimanjaro
According to data released by the United
Nations, Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa known as the equatorial snow-capped
mountains, where the glacier has been at least 10,000 years, but in the past
half century, the glacier here is the rapid decline of more than 80%. For this
Africa, the first peak, global warming and local land-use change may be common
cause here glaciers shrinking degradation.
But no matter for what reason, if you go, then
pack up your things! In 2009, scientists made a prediction, like written by
U.S. writer Ernest Hemingway, The Snows of Kilimanjaro, at about 2022 will
forever disappear.
8. Florida, USA wetlands
The South Florida wetlands are facing a severe
test, from the invasion of alien species such as pythons, to the pollution of
water bodies, to the environmentally unfriendly entertainment activities (such
as photos of the yacht). However, all these are not the most deadly. Data from
the Department of the U.S. National Park with sea level rise in the coming
decades, where the water is entirely occupied by the sea, this wetland implied
intrinsic ecosystem will be permanently altered .
According to the data of the U.S. Global Change
Research Project in the world drilling sampling, tide gauge and satellite data
have shown that in the past century, global average sea level has risen 4 to 8
inches (about 10 to 20 cm).
9. Maldives
Maldives
Sraffa Fushi island smoky, here are burning the garbage. The Maldives is one of
the lowest in the world altitude, sea level rise, the country is facing a
serious threat. According to the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change (IPCC) estimates that by 2099, global sea level will rise about
23 inches (about 60 cm).
In
the Maldives, the country's 1192 islands only 200 islands are inhabited. The
experts said, if the sea level continues to rise, especially in the Indian
Ocean region of accelerated sea-level rise, then the crisis facing the country
will be more severe, especially, especially in the terrain is relatively lower
area of the
capital, Male.
