The Dead Sea could die!
I'm not a sea but a lake. And I'm not dead. In fact, I've got many plants and animals. I'm saltier than any sea, so people can lie on my surface. Rivers flow into me. But now people take too much water from them. My water level is going down. I am becoming smaller year by year. Take less water, or I dry up within the next 100 years. Then I really will be dead!

Rain forest - forest ≠ rain
I'm the rain forest of Madagascar. As my name suggests, I make rain for my plants and animals, such as monkeys, snakes and many kinds of flowers. For 80% of them, I'm their only home in the world. However, people are cutting down my trees for wood and to make space for farming. Please stop it. I'm disappearing.
Besides, the rain forest can also help control the climate. It absorbs a large amount of carbon dioxide and produces oxygen. Without it, the local temperature will rise and the weather will become more extreme. But now, less and less of the forest is left.

Two hundred years ago, there were about 150 glaciers. But now, there are around 25. Please stop climate change. I'm turning into Waterworld!
The melting glaciers not only make the park less beautiful, but also cause rising sea levels. Many coastal cities may be under water in the future. What's worse, the cold water from melting glaciers will affect the ocean's ecosystem, killing many sea creatures.
