The name of this country is the Maldives. Its beaches are counted among luxury beaches around the world. His beauty is truly magnificent. The blue waters of the sea and the spectacular resorts fascinate everyone.

But reports say that 80 percent of the Maldives area has come very close to sea level. A report published on the BBC says that there are around 1200 such islands, which can go underwater very quickly. 

Vice President of Maldives Waheed Hasan had said in a World Bank report that we are in those countries of the world where there is really the highest risk of drowning, so we have to see some way how we can avoid it. 

Due to climate change, sea level in the world is increasing and the islands of Maldives are very weak. Earlier in 2008, the then President Mohammad Nasheen had said that he was planning to buy land elsewhere so that the citizens of the country could be sent there in case of drowning.
