Description:
The world's wild places are being destroyed and damaged faster than ever before, harming people as well as wildlife. Each year an area of rain forest the size of Belgium is either completely destroyed or seriously damaged. Saving the koala, Amazonia, the Sahara, and some of the world's highest mountains are examples of creatures and places that are considered wild. Poaching, oil spills, overgrazing, building and development, and -- especially -- tourism all threaten the future of some of the world's most remote and valuable places.
