Climate change is as real as it can get. The impact of climate change can be seen in many ways but one thing to notice is how some of the Indian Islands are disappearing due to this. The rising sea levels are responsible for this and in some time, there is a chance that a few Indian islands will be completely submerged underwater.
Want to know which islands are at risk? Here is a list and notable facts about them.
- Lakshadweep
Lakshadweep is a popular island and a vacation spot but could soon submerge into the water. The signs have started to show and the impact on the corals is also being seen.
- Majuli Island
Surrounded by the Brhampatutra river, It is an island in Assam that does not see many tourists but still is one of the most serene places. This island is also likely to submerge under the Brahmaputra river with time.
- Vaan Island
This island exists between India and Sri Lanka. It is relatively tiny and has already lost a major chunk of its land in 2015.
- Ghoramara Island
Located in the South of Kolkata, this island is also tiny and is submerging underwater. It used to be inhabited by a number of people but slowly, the population is decreasing.
Here are some islands that are vanishing due to climate change. While some changes are beyond repair, there is still a lot that can be done to control climate change. It is time to be mindful of our activities and do the needful to control these changes.
