These Wonders of The Earth Are Going Extinct

The Great Wall of China is eroding

A true wonder and landmark of China, the Great Wall has been around since the 7th century and took years to construct in order to protect the country from raids and invaders. At 12,437 miles long, it is the longest monument in the world and can even be seen from space.

The wall is endangered as there isn’t a solid way to protect it from natural disasters and erosion. Along with natural causes, the millions of people who visit it each year cause even more erosion.
