Places to see before they disappear
29.99 €
Imagine that over the past 40 years, the Dead Sea has shrunk by a third. This incredible natural wonder is disappearing before our very eyes! Or what about the Great Barrier Reef, where corals are slowly dying due to global warming? These vibrant underwater gardens, brimming with life and beauty, may soon become just a memory.
The world is changing every year, and people must rise to the challenge. Global warming, disasters, wars, and human activity are putting Earth's most precious treasures—historical monuments and unique nature reserves—at risk. But we have the opportunity to see all this with our own eyes while there's still time. We can make our small but important contribution to their preservation.
Science and technology are opening up amazing opportunities we previously only dreamed of. Various organizations are initiating projects, engaging representatives from different countries and investing enormous resources to preserve World Heritage sites. Stabilizing the environmental and political situation in various parts of the planet is the key to ensuring that our descendants will be able to see and enjoy ancient monuments and natural wonders.
- Why could the highland city of Potosi in Bolivia soon disappear underground, and the Egyptian pyramids collapse?
- Is Venice really sinking, and what threat does Machu Picchu face because of tourists?
- Why could Mount Kilimanjaro lose its ice cap in the next 15 years, and the Maldives be submerged in half a century?
Read about this and much more in the book "Places to See Before They Disappear"!
