Dead Sea.

Over the past four decades, its area has decreased by a third, and it has become shallow by 24 meters. 

The former beaches are now one and a half kilometers further from the coastline.

Marshes, which occupy the bulk of its territory, are subject to pollution from surrounding farms, as well as the invasion

As a result, the area of ​​the park - the only place where the Florida panther lives - has already halved since 1900. 

Within 40 years, the Florida panther, as well as another 20 species of animals, may completely disappear.
