What is currently threatening our planet?
Flooding is a huge problem in a lot of the world, particularly in areas like Southern Asia like Bangladesh, Myanmar and Cambodia as well as some parts of Europe as well. Rising sea levels mean that the risk of flash floods is always increasing and that some nations even face the threat of going completely underwater in the next decades.
Forest fires are also a huge problem all over the world, more locally in Southern Europe. They are devastating and can also happen commonly in heavily forested areas like parts of the USA, Albania and Southern Italy.
