PROTECTING ECOSYSTEMS - IDEAS FROM AROUND THE WORLD

The healthier our ecosystems are, the healthier our planet and its people become. Ecosystem restoration can help end poverty, fight climate change, and prevent loss of flora and fauna on every continent and in every ocean. Below are two examples of successful ecological projects.

The Great Green Wall

The goal of this project is to create the largest living structure on the planet. The plan is to restore 100 million hectares of damaged land, limit the amount of carbon dioxide and create 10 million green jobs in Africa. This will provide rich land, food security, and improve the region’s ability to deal with climate change. Since its launch in 2007, Ethiopia and Nigeria have restored millions of hectares of land, and Senegal has planted more than 10 million trees.

Belize Barrier Reef

The Belize Barrier Reef was once described as the most amazing reef in the West Indies. It is home to a large diversity of plants and animals. Itis Belize’s top tourist destination, popular for scuba diving and snorkelling, and a UNESCO Natural World Heritage Site. Between 2009 and 2018, it was declared endangered because of pollution and the destruction of its ecosystems. However, because of conservation efforts, a large part of the reef is now protected. There are seven marine reserves. Belize has also stopped oil drilling near the Barrier Reef, banned plastic products, and created ‘no-take zones’, where removing plants and animals is not allowed. 

 

The Great Green Wall

Belize Barrier Reef

1. It is a marine ecosystem of rich biodiversity.

 

 

2. Its aim is to build the world’s biggest living structure.

 

 

3. Millions of trees have been planted in several African countries.

 

 

4. The government has taken measures to restore and protect the ecosystem

Read the passage and check (ü) whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).

Energy makes change; it does things for us. It moves cars along the road and boats over the water. It bakes a cake in the oven and keeps ice frozen in the freezer. It plays our favourite songs on the radio and lights our homes. Energy makes our bodies grow and allows our minds to think. Scientists define energy as the ability to do work. People have learned how to change energy from one from one form to another so that we can do work more easily and live more comfortably.

All forms of energy are stored in different ways, in the energy sources that we use every day. These sources are divided into two groups – renewable and nonrenewable. Renewable energy source is an energy source that can be replenished in a short period of time. Nonrenewable energy source is an energy source that we are using up and cannot recreate in a short period of time.

Renewable energy sources include solar energy, which comes from the Sun and can be turned into electricity and heat. Wind, geothermal energy from inside the Earth, biomass from plants, and hydropower and ocean energy from water are also renewable energy sources.

However, we get most of our energy from nonrenewable energy sources, which include the fossil fuels – oil, natural gas, and coal. They’re called fossil fuels because they were formed over millions and millions of years by the action of heat from the Earth’s core and pressure from rock and soil on the remains of dead plants and animals. Another nonrenewable energy source is the element uranium, whose atoms we split (through a process called nuclear fission) to create heat and ultimately electricity.

Question: Renewable energy can be turned into electricity and heat.

A. True

B. False

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

In American, although most men still do less housework than their wives, that gap has been halved since the 1960s. Today, 41 per cent of couples say they share childcare equally, compared with 25 percent in 1985. Men's greater involvement at home is good for their relationships with their spouses, and also good for their children. Hands-on fathers make better parents than men who let their wives do all the nurturing and childcare. They raise sons who are more expressive and daughters who are more likely to do well in school - especially in math and science.

In 1900, life expectancy in the United States was 47 years, and only four per cent of the population was 65 or older. Today, life expectancy is 76 years, and by 2025, it is estimated about 20 per cent of the U.S. population will be 65 or older. For the first time, a generation of adults must plan for the needs of both their parents and their children. Most Americans are responding with remarkable grace. One in four households gives the equivalent of a full day a week or more in unpaid care to an aging relative, and more than half say they expect to do so in the next 10 years. Older people are less likely to be impoverished or incapacitated by illness than in the past, and have more opportunity to develop a relationship with their grandchildren.

Even some of the choices that worry people the most are turning out to be manageable. Divorce rates are likely to remain high, and in many cases marital breakdown causes serious problems for both adults and kids. Yet when parents minimize conflict, family bonds can be maintained. And many families are doing this. More non-custodial parents are staying in touch with their children. Child-support receipts are rising. A lower proportion of children from divorced families are exhibiting problems than in earlier decades. And stepfamilies are learning to maximize children's access to supportive adults rather than cutting them off from one side of the family.

Question 2. Nowadays, ____ of men help take care of children.

A. 50%

B. 41%

C. 25%

D. 20%

Today, many people argue that we should spend more money on restoring local ecosystems. From my point of view, people should prioritize restoring local ecosystems as it is crucial for the survival of our planet.

Firstly, the most important reason why we should restore local ecosystems is that they provide numerous benefits to both humans and animals. Ecosystems provide clean air, water, and food which are necessary for our survival. Without healthy ecosystems, we will face numerous problems such as air and water pollution, food scarcity, and natural disasters.

Secondly, we should invest in restoring local ecosystems because human activities such as deforestation and pollution have caused serious harm to our planet. These activities have led to the loss of biodiversity, soil erosion, and climate change. By restoring local ecosystems, we can help reverse some of these negative effects and preserve our planet for future generations.

Finally, neglecting the restoration of local ecosystems has led to the extinction of many species and the loss of habitats for others. It has also affected the lives and livelihoods of people who depend on natural resources for their survival.

In conclusion, I firmly believe that we should invest more money in restoring local ecosystems. It is essential for the survival of our planet, and it will provide numerous benefits to both humans and animals. By doing so, we can create a sustainable future for ourselves and the generations to come.

Ngày nay, nhiều người tranh luận rằng chúng ta nên chi nhiều tiền hơn cho việc khôi phục các hệ sinh thái địa phương. Theo quan điểm của tôi, mọi người nên ưu tiên khôi phục các hệ sinh thái địa phương vì nó rất quan trọng cho sự tồn tại của hành tinh chúng ta.

Đầu tiên, lý do quan trọng nhất khiến chúng ta nên khôi phục các hệ sinh thái địa phương là chúng mang lại nhiều lợi ích cho cả con người và động vật. Các hệ sinh thái cung cấp không khí sạch, nước và thực phẩm cần thiết cho sự sống còn của chúng ta. Nếu không có hệ sinh thái lành mạnh, chúng ta sẽ phải đối mặt với vô số vấn đề như ô nhiễm không khí và nước, khan hiếm lương thực và thiên tai.

Thứ hai, chúng ta nên đầu tư vào việc khôi phục các hệ sinh thái địa phương vì các hoạt động của con người như phá rừng và ô nhiễm đã gây ra tác hại nghiêm trọng cho hành tinh của chúng ta. Những hoạt động này đã dẫn đến mất đa dạng sinh học, xói mòn đất và biến đổi khí hậu. Bằng cách khôi phục các hệ sinh thái địa phương, chúng ta có thể giúp đảo ngược một số tác động tiêu cực này và bảo tồn hành tinh của chúng ta cho các thế hệ tương lai.

Cuối cùng, việc bỏ qua việc phục hồi các hệ sinh thái địa phương đã dẫn đến sự tuyệt chủng của nhiều loài và mất môi trường sống cho những loài khác. Nó cũng đã ảnh hưởng đến cuộc sống và sinh kế của những người phụ thuộc vào tài nguyên thiên nhiên để tồn tại.

Tóm lại, tôi tin chắc rằng chúng ta nên đầu tư nhiều tiền hơn vào việc khôi phục hệ sinh thái địa phương. Nó cần thiết cho sự tồn tại của hành tinh chúng ta và nó sẽ mang lại nhiều lợi ích cho cả con người và động vật. Bằng cách đó, chúng ta có thể tạo ra một tương lai bền vững cho chính chúng ta và các thế hệ mai sau.
