Endangered species face a number of challenges that threaten their survival. Firstly, habitat destruction,
(16) deforestation and urbanisation, poses a significant threat to many species. Additionally, pollution
and climate change have detrimental effects on ecosystems, (17) . Moreover, illegal hunting and
poaching contribute to declining populations of endangered animals worldwide. These threats not only
jeopardise the survival of individual species (18) .
Therefore, concerted efforts are needed to address the root causes of endangerment and (19) .
Governments, conservation organisations, and individuals must work together to protect endangered
species and their habitats. By preserving natural habitats, combating illegal wildlife trade, and raising
awareness, we can safeguard the future of these magnificent creatures and ensure (20) .

The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List divides species into seven levels
of conservation: Least Concern, Near Threatened, Vulnerable, Endangered, Critically Endangered, Extinct
in the Wild, and Extinct. It uses a set of precise criteria to (21) extinction risks and decides which
species need protection. An endangered species is one (22) meets any of the following criteria.
A species is classified as endangered when its population has declined between 50 and 70 per cent.
This decline is measured over 10 years or longer. Geographic range describes the area where a species is
found. (23) the area that a species lives on, known as its area of occupancy, is estimated to be less than
500 square kilometres, then the species is classified as endangered. (24) , a species is classified as
endangered when there are fewer than 2,500 mature individuals. When a species (25) declines by at
least 20 per cent or two generations within five years, it is also classified as endangered.

Read the following news items and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions from 26 to 30.
1. Sea turtle protection efforts supported by hundreds of volunteers
More than 600 volunteers participated in sea turtle conservation activities held on Con Dao Island last
week. Volunteers made sure that their spawning ground was safe. They also rescued turtle eggs and buried
them in the sand. Sea turtles are threatened with extinction worldwide, and their populations have
decreased dramatically in many places. That is why sea turtle conservation programmes are organised
annually around the world. They attract many volunteers and help raise public awareness about the threats
to sea turtle species.
2. Plans to help coral reefs recover
Local authorities are taking measures to restore the coral reef ecosystem in Nha Trang Bay. They will
organise regular clean-ups of the seabed and removal of marine debris. Diving clubs will also help by
having their professional divers collect broken pieces of coral, re-grow them in underwater nurseries, and
then re-attach them to reefs. Coral cover is expected to increase, which will help restore natural habitats
and promote marine biodiversity in the bay. In addition, the bay's management board will also monitor the
number of swimmers and divers to avoid putting too much stress on the ecosystem.
3. …………………….
An exhibition entitled 'Paint for wildlife' will be held in Ha Noi next week. It will include more than 30
paintings by secondary school students across the country. Visitors will also have the opportunity to meet
the young artists and discuss the stories behind their beautiful paintings. All of them will be on sale to
raise money for the protection of endangered and vulnerable species. The event organisers hope to raise
public awareness of wildlife conservation through art and contribute to efforts to save rare and endangered
animals.
