World Heritage under Risk?

Yosemite (pronounced "Yo-SEM-it-tee") Falls, the tallest waterfall in the U.S. at 2,425 feet, is a major attraction of the Yosemite National Park. The 3,081-sq. km. park, which in 1984 became a World Heritage Site, stretches across the western slopes of California's Sierra Nevada mountain range. The falls, seen on the right side, disgorge from a tall granite cliff with the whole slice of park of giant Sequoia groves shrouded by thick clouds. Yosemite beckons the wanderer to view the spectacular site of rich biological diversity that was born 10 million years ago. But this communing with nature makes one wonder how long this world heritage will last in a country that's fast being threatened by ecological hazards ejected by the world's worst industrial polluters.
