There are some pearls scatters on the
earth, and we usually called them Maldives. Maldives is a place located in the
southern Indian Ocean. This country has the tropical monsoon climate, and this
environment makes the island has the variety of different creatures. For
example, marine ecosystem has 1100 species of fish, 5 species of sea turtles,
21 species of whales and dolphins, 187 species of corals, 400 species of
mollusks, and 83 species of echinoderms, and 120 copepods, 15 amphipods as well
as over 145 crab and 48 shrimp species as well. This amazing scenery attracts
people around the world come to visit every year. However, do you know that
this adorable island will disappear after 7 years?
Maldives’s president Mohamed Nasheed in
2012 stated that "If carbon emissions were to stop today, the planet would
not see a difference for 60 to 70 years." "If carbon emissions
continue at the rate they are climbing today, my country will be underwater in
seven years." It means that Maldives will probably become the next
Atlantis which submerged under the ocean. There are two main reasons that cause
the environment issue. First is the global warming problem, as we know that
after the industry revolution, the carbon emissions gradually increase, so the
world’s climate changed. Therefore, the temperature increase results in the
South Pole and Greenland’s glacier melt, and the sea level rose. The second
reason is many tourists visit Maldives every year, the more they care about the
tourism industry, the more hurt the original ecology. That is why the marine
wide creatures sharply decrease in the recent year.
Due to climate change in the recent year,
Maldives have ranked the third most endangered nation due to flooding. Maldives
is a place that I eager to visit one day, because of this reason; I want to
find some solutions to protect this beautiful land. For example, we can use
public transportation instead car or motorcycle, and also control the time to
use air condition, these are the way to reduce carbon emission. In order to
protect Maldives’s ecosystem, we should treat the environment kindly. If we
keep doing it, we are not only just protecting Maldives but also protecting our
earth!
