Obviously, this article isn’t exactly full of good news. It is sure to affect those of you who are also very conscious of the catastrophic effects of climate change. Between erosion, the melting of the ice caps, rising sea levels or even just pure human destruction, our natural world will soon (very soon!) be no more than a distant memory. All we can do is try to preserve it as much as possible.
To make you aware – and to show you visually – we have found the 25 most magnificent places on the planet that are due to disappear in the coming years. If you don’t want to miss out on these marvels, it’s a good time to start buying your tickets!
1/ Tikal National Park in Guatemala
Because of looting and forest fires, this historical site is due to disappear in very little time.
2/ Glacier National Park in the United States
This park went from having 125 glaciers in the 1800s to only having 25 nowadays. If things continue in this way, there won’t be any left by 2030.
3/ The Amazonian forest in Brazil
Deforestation has already destroyed a huge portion of the world’s tropical forests, and this is becoming catastrophic for the forests of Brazil.
4/ The Congo River basin in Africa
One of the most diverse regions in the planet, scientists predict that by 2040, almost two thirds of its plant and animal life will have disappeared.
5/ The Joshua Tree National Park in the United States

6/ Venice in Italy
