Disappearing Destinations

Venice, Italy The situation is made worse by the fact that its ancient buildings, built on a body of water called a lagoo( 泻湖 ), are slowly sinking.

Mount Kilimanjaro 乞力马扎罗山 in northeastern Tanzania 坦桑尼亚 The ice glaciers on the mountain are disappearing very quickly. This will have a bad effect on the mountain's ecosystems and on Tanzania's travel industry.Thousands of years of weather history will also be lost if the ice melts.

Glacier National Park 国家冰川公园 in America The icy masses in Glacier National Park may soon completely disappear because of climate change. There are 26 glaciers remaining today. Scientists estimate that the glaciers will be gone by Warming temperatures are also threatening the many kinds of plants and animals that live in this mountain ecosystem.

Great Barrier Reef 大堡礁 in Australia Sick or dying coral affects the entire ecosystem of this special underwater area. Water pollution and visits by careless swimmers and divers also threaten the reef.

the Napa Valley 纳帕谷 in California Rising temperatures are threatening the grape harvest and wine industry in the area.As temperatures rise in Napa, producers may find it harder to produce wine of the same quality.
