Read the following passage then choose the best answer to each question below.
Vietnam, known for its rich biodiversity, is facing a growing crisis as many of its unique wildlife species become threatened or endangered. However, significant efforts are being made across the country to conserve and protect these vulnerable animals.
One major focus is on combating poaching, a severe threat to many species, including the critically endangered saola and Indochinese tiger. Organizations like Save Vietnam's Wildlife (SVW) work tirelessly to rescue animals from the illegal wildlife trade, rehabilitate them in captivity, and ultimately release them back into protected areas. In 2020 alone, SVW rescued over 1,500 animals from the illegal wildlife trade.
Habitat degradation is another major challenge, particularly for species like the Tonkin snub-nosed monkey, whose forest homes are disappearing due to deforestation. Conservation projects are working to establish protected areas, restore degraded habitats, and promote sustainable land use practices. For instance, Pu Mat National Park is a crucial shelter for some of the last remaining Asian elephants in the country.
Marine conservation is also a priority, as Vietnam's coral reefs are threatened by pollution and destructive fishing practices. Efforts to monitor coral health, remove debris, and educate local communities about sustainable fishing are making a difference. According to the Vietnam Administration of Seas and Islands, coral cover in some protected areas has increased by 10% in recent years.
Additionally, conservation organizations are working to raise awareness about endangered species and the importance of biodiversity. Educational programs in schools and communities aim to foster a sense of responsibility and encourage actions to protect Vietnam's natural heritage.
While the challenges are immense, the dedication of conservationists and the support of the government and local communities are providing hope for the future of Vietnam's wildlife. By working together, it's possible to conserve these precious species and ensure their survival for generations to come.
