| Travel Reservations Budget Travel has compiled a list of the ten wonders of nature that could disappear by 2030.
Yangtze River Basin. Many observers , including Chinese officials have already acknowledged that the majority of species of flora and fauna that inhabit this natural region is threatened with destruction. The reason for that are deforestation, construction of dams and reservoirs education . There is also the danger of earthquakes . Tourist flows can have a twofold impact on the corners of nature : on the one hand, they obviously impair the ecological state of the unique places on earth , only hastening their death . On the other hand , the local government can spend the income from tourism to conservation measures in the wonders of nature .
Tahuamanu Jungle (Peru) In the Peruvian province of Madre de Dios are almost the world’s last reserves of mahogany. And it is growing in the jungle Tahuamanu. But due to illegal logging, they cancel. About 80% of the U.S. Buying mahogany. After each of the tree can be made furniture for a million dollars. Loggers build roads, allowing you to enter into the jungle to farmers and hunters, and this, in turn, disturbs and destroys indigenous ecosystem.
Tiger population. More than half of tigers in the world live in India. Everything in the world in the wild, their left about 3-4 thousand, whereas in 1900, one of India there were 100,000. Fully Tigers could become extinct within 12 years. For the needs of Chinese traditional medicine kill an average of one tiger per day. Tiger reserves exist, but they do not provide reliable migration routes females needed for full reproduction of the population.
North and South Poles. Global warming threatens the extinction of 80% of the emperor penguins of Antarctica. In the Arctic, the same destruction threatens polar bears, because together with the melting of the polar ice caps are killed whole ecosystems, including food chain. New ice masses cease to form in Antarctica for 20-40 years.
Maldives. If global warming continues, these islands, rising only a little over two meters above sea level, will be flooded. In 2008, the State President has announced the acquisition of land in other countries, particularly in India, for the settlement of the citizens who were forced to flee their homes flooded by the ocean. In 2009, to highlight the impending danger, he chaired a meeting of the government under water.
Madagascar. If you do not save the forests of the island of the African state, after 35 years they will be completely cut down and burned, and their inhabitants die. Reserves account for only 5% of the island, not allowing animals to safely navigate around Madagaskaru.Nekotorye rare species of the island were not even studied and recorded, and may become extinct before they have time to explore.
Everglades National Park (Florida, USA). Swamps, occupying the major part of its territory, subject to contamination from the surrounding farms, and the invasion of living beings from outside parka.Plyus more that 60% of the local water supply is pumped to the nearby cities and fermy.V result area of the park – the only place where lives the Florida panther – has halved since 1900. For 40 years, the Florida panther, as well as 20 more species may disappear completely.
Dead Sea. Over the past four decades of its area has reduced by a third, and it became shallow at 24 meters. Former beaches are now a mile away from the shoreline. The water in the Dead Sea comes only from the Jordan River, but the surrounding countries are taken out of the river, more water. As a result, in 50 years the Dead Sea will not. Especially because cosmetics and potash constantly deplete mineral reserves seabed.
Congolese depression. Congolese Basin – the second largest array of jungle after the Amazon basin. By 2040, two-thirds of the unique flora and fauna, according to the UN, will be lost if no effective measures to zaschite.Lesa subjected to ruthless cutting devices for the purpose of grazing, mining, as well as during the guerrilla war in this region of Africa. Reduction of the area of forest surface leads to a reduction in carbon dioxide absorption, and hence rainfall, which contributes to climate change.
Belize Barrier Reef. Belize Barrier Reef has suffered greatly in 1998, losing in many places up to 50% of the corals. His corals, as before, discolored – as due to global warming, and because of human activities. |
