The coastal Indian islant of Lohachara previously had a population of approximately 10,000. It now has a population of zero, unless you count the fish. You can read about it here: http://news.independent.co.uk./environment/article2099971.ece
In light of the huge media coverage of this tipping point event, it may be redundant for me to post about it here, but for those who may have missed it, I figured it was worth while to repost here.
