The world's largest rainforest, the Amazon covers 2.6 million square miles (6.7 million square kilometers) of South America, the majority of which is in Brazil. Sadly, it is at serious risk due to agricultural expansion, wildfires, and deforestation. The damage increased to a devastating degree under the leadership of former far-right president, Jair Bolsonaro.
Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia and a hub for culture, economics, and politics with a population of over 10 million, is facing rapid sinking. Reports suggest that significant parts of the city could be underwater by 2050, making it one of the fastest-sinking cities in the world.
The Dead Sea level is said to drop at least three feet (one meter) annually. Experts fear that it will disappear completely if the population keeps diverting the Jordan River’s flow, as it is the Dead Sea's only source of water.
The park's peak, measuring 20,310 feet (6190 meters), is known as the tallest in North America and is currently experiencing significant changes due to glacier melting.
The peak has been listed as one of the 11 most endangered historic sites in the US by the National Trust for Historic Preservation because of depreciation from tourism.
The island paradise situated off the east coast of Africa is facing a threat from rising sea levels, putting the low-lying islands at risk due to unprecedented changes.
The mountain range loses about 3% of its glacial ice every year because of global warming. Experts predict that half of the ice from the 4,000 glaciers will disappear by 2050 due to past emissions alone.
The 1.5-million-acre wetlands reserve in Florida is at risk due to flooding, invasive species, and urbanization, making it the country's most threatened park.
The Michigan park known for its beautiful natural scenery is falling victim to climate change. Through altered temperatures and precipitation patterns, the park's natural ecosystems are suffering.
