Gujarat State is the most important place of production of cotton and salt. Also, Mahatma Gandhi, the father of Indian nation, is Gujarati. Between 2005 and 2006, heavy rains brought by monsoon causing severe flooding and killed thousands of lives. It is estimated that climate change will bring the western Indian state more storms and flooding can not be predicted.

Maldives

The Maldives is an archipelago consisting of 1,200 islands in the Indian Ocean. Most famous for the beautiful scenery: white beaches, swaying palm trees, colorful corals and abundant sunshine. 80 percent of the average height of the Maldives is less than one meter. If rising sea levels continue to change the global climate, this beautiful paradise might disappear under the sea sooner or later.

Bangkok

Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, located in the Chao Phraya Delta. It is the center of political, economic, cultural and education from Thailand. Bangkok positioned low and always threatened by floods during the rainy season. In addition, geological formations, urbanization and the excessive exploitation of ground water to produce rapid damage to land in Bangkok. It is estimated that most of the city of Bangkok will sink below sea level until the end of this century.

Cherrapunji

Cherrapunji, India, 1290 feet above sea level, receives the majority of annual rainfall is greatest in the world. But 98 percent of local rainfall occurs from March to October every year, and only four months remaining, would be a rather dry climate. There is no reservoir for storage of rain water in there. Also for global climate change recently, environmental pollution, deforestation and soil erosion, local residents do not even get enough water to live in the dry season.

Komodo Island

Komodo Island in Indonesia is most famous for the clarity of the sea and diverse tropical marine life, so be it Mecca divers worldwide. What else is known on the island of Komodo is the world’s largest lizard – the Komodo. Rising sea levels already threatens the existence of coastal mangrove forests and beaches. Meanwhile, acidification and changes in ocean water temperature can kill corals around the island.

Hokkaido

There are about 1,200 red-crowned cranes living in the city of Kushiro Wetland Hokkaido, Japan. This is a paradise for rare breeding birds. large-scale hunting by humans and sea level rises, the Kushiro wetland is reduced year by year. And habitat of Red-crowned crane is also much reduced.

Indus River

Indus River comes from the glaciers in the Himalayas and more than 3000 kilometers. This created a jungle river, places and villages along the road, thereby becoming an important source for irrigation. Smaller glaciers and changes in the irregular rainfall could increase the local water shortage problem

Kalimantan

Kalimantan (Borneo), Indonesia is the third largest island in the world. Approximately 50 percent of the island is covered by primitive forest. And other rare species live in tropical forests, mysterious. however, excessive logging, palm oil plantation expansion and the construction of roads, causing the shrinking of tropical forests. global climate change also resulted in the extinction of local flora and the spread of malaria. High temperatures and dry also increase the danger of forest fires.

Siberian Altai

Altai mountains of southern Siberia biogeographic region is mountainous western Siberia. This region is the most complete sequence of vegetation zones in Siberia, halted from pasture, forest, mixed forest, subalpine vegetation to alpine vegetation. This site is also an important habitat for rare animal species like snow leopard. Of the last century, temperatures in this region continues to increase, and researchers that in coming decades will threaten the unique ecological system.

Mount Qomolangma

Mount Qomolangma is the highest mountain on Earth above sea level, and the highest point on earth. Various kinds of endangered rare animals inhabit here, including snow leopards, pandas also live on the lower side and so on. Scientists have claimed that about two-thirds of the glacier has melted. melting glaciers could cause the expansion of glacial lakes that would lead to several natural disasters including floods and landslides.
