Your Call 041708 Disappearing World- Extraordinary and Endangered Places

Where are the most threatened cultural and ecological places on earth and how can they be protected? On the next Your Call, we welcome Alonzo Addison, author of Disappearing World: 101 of the Earth's Most Extraordinary and Endangered Places. World Heritages sites around the world are at risk from both natural and man-made causes, such as earthquakes in Peru, civil strife in the Congo, and unsustainable tourism in Cambodia. What's it going to take to preserve these remarkable places? Can tourism co-exist with preservation? It's Your Call with Rose Aguilar.
