Endangered Places: From the Amazonian Rainforest to the Polar Ice Caps (Wonders of Our Planet)

Here we celebrate our planet’s beauty while highlighting human behavior and climate change’s impact, arranged by continent. The reader will learn about the Bornean rainforest, home to threatened species; the Great Barrier Reef, built by coral polyps; the Aral Sea, reduced to 10% of its original size due to irrigation projects; and desertification, which expanded the Sahara Desert and shrunk Lake Chad; and more locations.
