These Wonders of The Earth Are Going Extinct

The Mirador Basin and Tikal National Park could be destroyed

One of Guatemala’s main wonders and an important part of their history is The Mirador Basin and Tikal National Park. Home to the mysterious ruins of the Mayan civilization, tourists have come each year from all over the world to gaze in awe at the careful construction that is shrouded in secrecy.

The biggest threat to the survival of the landmark is illegal looting and forest burning. With this crime at an all time high, the monument may disappear in a matter of years.
