		<description><![CDATA[The website Treehugger suggests eight places &#8212; low-lying islands, more specifically &#8212; that will &#8220;soon&#8221; be uninhabitable due to climate change.
They are:

Tuvalu, Kiribati, the Carteret Islands (off PNG), and Majuro Atoll (Marshall Islands) in the Pacific
Lamu and Pate, Kenyan coastal islands
Bhola, in southern Bangladesh

		<description><![CDATA[Weak governance and warfare in Africa chronically threaten the continent&#8217;s wildlife.
The Washington Post today notes a particularly dire case, the loss of mountain gorillas in barely-governed Congo.  More than half of the world&#8217;s 700 remaining mountain gorillas are in Congo&#8217;s Virunga National Park.

		<description><![CDATA[Endangered: the Amazon forest
Danger level: medium
Time frame: 50-100 years
Causes: climate change, deforestation
A new study of the effects of climate change suggests that without significant action to reduce the phenomenon, rising temperatures and falling rainfall could destroy the ecosystem completely, transforming the rain forest into savanna and wiping out vast amounts of biodiversity.
