Travel book's 500 endangered places

USA Today reports on the new Frommer's travel guide with 500 threatened natural and man made places to see before they disappear.

"The list includes Fraser Island, Australia, made entirely of sand and threatened by rising sea levels; the Grove of Osun-Osogbo, a sacred primeval forest in Nigeria and UNESCO heritage site; the Dead Sea in Israel, where water levels have been dropping; Willow Creek Preserve in Oregon, home to Fender's blue butterflies, a species once thought to be extinct; and the chestnut tree that Anne Frank gazed upon while hiding from the Nazis in Amsterdam. The tree has a fungal disease but work has been undertaken to preserve it."
