Nina is reading a book about endangered natural and cultural destinations(目的地) in the world. The writer wants the book to be a hopeful call to action. Let's visit some of these places.

Venice
The ancient city of Venice, Italy has long been threatened(威胁) by rising sea levels. The situation is made worse by the fact that its ancient buildings are slowly sinking. When the city was founded about 1,600 years ago, the level of the Adriatic Sea was almost 2 metres lower than it is today.
Mount Kilimanjaro
Mount Kilimanjaro in northeastern Tanzania is the highest point in Africa. The ice glaciers(冰川) on the mountain are disappearing very quickly. This will have a bad effect on the mountain's ecosystems and Tanzania's travel industry.
Glacier National Park
In the USA, the icy blocks in Glacier National Park may soon completely disappear because of climate change. In 1850, there were about 150 glaciers. There are 26 glaciers remaining today. Scientists say the glaciers will be gone by 2030.
Great Barrier Reef
The Great Barrier Reef in Australia is the largest coral reef system in the world. Rising sea temperatures are greatly harming the reef. In some areas, healthy yellow, brown and green reefs have become white, which is bad for the whole ecosystem of this special underwater area.
