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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
