It could be described as the future Atlantis. Built on 1,118 islets and 416 bridges, Venice attracts 25 million curious people every year. Saint Mark's Square, the Rialto Bridge, the Doge's Palace... If you want to enjoy its richness, you must go there quickly. Venice should be swallowed up in 70 years. This is due to the buildings that collapse the ground and the rise of the Mediterranean. The MOSE project, launched by the city, should make it possible to protect the beautiful Italian woman from the waters for a century, but there is no doubt that Venice will end up drowned

N°4 - The Dead Sea

Located between Jordan and Israel, the Dead Sea is one of the most mysterious places on the planet. A gigantic salt lake 400 m below the sea level, the Dead Sea is expected to disappear by 2050. Over the past 50 years, its surface area has already been halved, its level has fallen by 8 m per month. It is being replaced by craters. There are 5,000 of them, threatening tourism, residents and agriculture. A project is being set up to refloat, via a canal linked to the Red Sea, this salty lake, so famous worldwide.

N°5 - Kilimanjaro

Kilimanjaro, the mythical roof of the African continent, is a massif known for its famous eternal snow, which unfortunately will not remain so. Since 2000, Africa's highest peak, located in Tanzania, has reportedly already lost more than 32% of its glaciers. The cause: global warming, which is becoming increasingly important on the globe. Faced with this melting glacier, Africa may have to face another problem: water supply. Glaciers are an important reserve for the region. Kilimanjaro's glaciers could disappear by 2030

N°6 - The Great Barrier Reef

Spread over 2000 km, in the northeast of Australia, it is the largest coral reef in the world. With thousands of fish species, the Great Barrier Reef is more than ever threatened with extinction. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1981, it has already lost more than half of its corals. This is due to the very dense maritime activities, global warming and acanthasters, the starfish that destroy corals. Their degradation leads to the disappearance of already highly threatened species

No. 7 - Glaciers in Glacier National Park

Located in the state of Montana, this majestic park is known for its immense glaciers and rich landscapes. But unfortunately, you must not delay any longer if you wish to admire them. These famous glaciers will have disappeared by 2030. The process has already begun, with only 26 of the original 150 glaciers left. The fault is global warming. If the park is left without any glaciers, its entire ecosystem will be disrupted. Glacier National Park contains 200 waterfalls, 712 lakes, more than a thousand plant species and about 60 mammals.

N°8 - The Taj Mahal

An emblematic monument of India built between 1631 and 1648 in Agra, the Taj Mahal is a World Heritage Site. At 372 years of age, this monument does not age well. The cause: the hordes of tourists (3 million each year) who come to admire its white marble facades. In addition, there is air pollution that turns its walls brown. In addition, the foundations are drying up due to the declining flow of the Yamuna River. The woods of the baseboards come to disintegrate and be eaten by termites. If nothing is done, this jewel of Muslim art could collapse in very few years

N°9 - The Malagasy forest

Madagascar, a small paradise, is home to one of the world's largest biodiversities: its forest occupies more than 20% of the territory, or 13 million hectares. It is the only place in the world where you can see lemurs at large. Unfortunately, the forest could disappear. Main threats: maize cultivation on felled, burnt and bush fires. Every year, 2000,000 hectares of the forest go up in smoke. An alarming situation since today, only about 10% of the original Malagasy forest remains. The latter is expected to disappear in 20 years, leading to the extinction of lemurs. So don't delay any longer and go discover Madagascar and its riches

N°10 - The Alps

While melting glaciers, global warming also causes mountains to fall, starting with the Alps. This mountain range forms a 1,200 km barrier between the Mediterranean and the Danube. For about 20 years, the Alps have been affected by the thawing of permafrost, leading to collapses in the mountain range. In the summer of 2015, more than 150 collapses were recorded in the Mont Blanc massif. And this continues. Mountaineers, if you want to admire the peaks of the Alps, don't hang around. Some routes have already been abandoned
