Top 10 endangered places to visit


There are all manner of sites which you should see before you die – but what about those places that you ought to see before they ‘die’ or disappear forever?
Some places in the world are at risk because of environmental factors, such as pollution or rising water levels, while others are at risk because of deforestation, armed conflict or other actions. Such places can be areas of outstanding natural beauty, or magnificent examples of humankind’s ingenuity – and so it would be a shame if you didn’t see them before they disappear for good.
