Trang An scenic complex in Ninh Binh province is located on the southern edge of the Red River Delta, in the North of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, about 90km southeast of Hanoi. The heritage has an area of ​​6,226 hectares, the buffer zone has an area of ​​6,026 hectares, mostly wetlands and rice fields.``

On June 25, 2014, in Doha (Qatar) capital, the World Heritage Committee of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) officially registered the Trang An Scenic Landscape Complex - Ninh Binh province on the list of World Cultural and Natural Heritage - the first mixed heritage of Vietnam and Southeast Asia. The outstanding global value of Trang An Scenic Landscape Complex is recognized by the World Heritage Committee based on three criteria: Culture (Criterion v), aesthe beauty (Criterion vii), and geology. fake

* Cultural values ​​(Criterion v):

Trang An is the most prominent site in Southeast Asia and holds global significance in demonstrating how humans interact with the natural landscape and adapt to the enormous changes in the environment during the period. over 30,000 years. The long cultural history here is closely associated with the geological development of the Trang An limestone massif in the late Canh Tan and Toan Tan periods. This was a period when local residents experienced some of the most extreme clima and environmental fluctuations in earth's history, including the constant flooding of the landscape with water due to sea level fluctuations. In such a compact landscape, there are many sites with different stages and functions, including a unique system of prehistoric human habitation.

*Aesthe value (Criterion v):

Trang An's karst tower landscape is among the most beautiful and fascinating of its kind in the world. Dominating the landscape is a series of 200m high stone towers covered by forests linked together in many places through sharp ridges, embracing deep flooded valleys connected through countless underground caves. Mixed with the forests are rice fields stretching along rivers, with farmers and fishermen living in their traditional way. Visitors traveling on traditional boats steered by local guides can experience the natural environment, feeling comfortable, safe and peaceful. The majes mountains, mysterious caves and sacred temples, pagodas, shrines and palaces in Trang An have inspired people for generations. This is where culture meets the magic, mystery and splendor of the natural world, and where culture is transformed by it.

* Values ​​of geology and geomorphology (Criterion v):

Trang An is a wonderful geological heritage that shows more clearly than other places in the world the final stages of karst evolution in a humid tropical environment. This is an excellent and outstanding model on a global scale. The deep cleavage of an uplifted limestone block over a period of more than 5 million years has created a series of classical landscapes, including towers, cones, closed depressions (or sinkholes), valleys, and valleys. inward drainage valleys (or basins), base caves and underground passages through caves with sediments in them. Of great significance is the presence of transitional forms between the “fengcong” karsts with ridges connecting the towers, and the “fenglin” karst where the towers stand discretely on the alluvial plain. Canh Tan and Toan Tan, the landscape has been completely changed due to many times of sea advance and retreat. marine sediments and shellfish layers.


* Management of the heritage area: Most of the area of ​​the heritage is located in 03 protected areas according to the regulations of the national conservation areas, including: Hoa Lu Ancient Capital Historical and Cultural relic, Trang An - Tam Coc - Bich Dong scenic area, Hoa Lu endemic primeval forest. Management Board of Trang An Scenic Landscape Complex - An agency under the Department of Tourism responsible for heritage management. The Management Board has the capacity and resources to protect and manage the site according to the standards of a World Heritage site.

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

The poaching crisis wiping out Africa's elephants is costing the continent's economies millions in lost tourism revenue, according to a new study. Researchers looked at visitor and elephant data across 25 countries, and modeled financial losses from fewer visitors in protected areas due to the illegal wildlife trade, which has caused elephant numbers to plummet by more than 100,000 in the last decade. (A)

The study team combined visitor numbers across 164 protected areas in 25 countries in forest and savannah elephants, and elephant population data from 2009 to 2013, to reach a “per elephant" value in terms of tourism income.

They concluded that Africa was most likely losing $26m in tourism revenue a year. (B) Around $9m of that is lost from tourists' direct spending, such as staying at hotels and buying crafts, with the rest through indirect value in the economy such as farmers and other suppliers supporting the tourist industry.

The study, published in the journal Nature Communications, found that in most cases the revenue losses were higher than paying for stronger anti-poaching measures to keep elephant populations stable. (C) Dr. Robin Naidoo, the paper's lead author and , senior conservation wildlife scientist at WWF and his team found. In the case of central Africa's forest elephants, which are harder for tourists to see and therefore attract fewer visitors, the costs of protecting them exceed the benefits from tourism. Demand from south-east Asia has seen the price of ivory triple since 2009 and it is estimated that one elephant is killed every 15 minutes. (D) Corruption, a lack of resources, and, most importantly, increasingly sophisticated poachers have hamstrung African countries' efforts to stem the trade.

Naidoo said that the research was not suggesting economic issues should be the only consideration when protecting elephants, but framing the poaching crisis as a financial one could motivate African governments and communities.

“It gives an additional reason for some groups of people, who may not necessarily be motivated by intrinsic reasons for conversation, to engage with biodiversity conservation. It makes it clear to them that it's not just in the best interests of the world to conserve this stuff, but tangible reasons for a whole different group," he said.

Question. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A. Elephant poaching costs African millions in tourism revenue

B. Elephant poaching does more good than harm

C. Elephant poaching brings an opportunity for Africa to change

D. Elephant poaching reduces the number of elephants in Africa

The study team combined visitor numbers across 164 protected areas in 25 countries in forest and savannah elephants, and elephant population data from 2009 to 2013, to reach a “per elephant" value in terms of tourism income.

They concluded that Africa was most likely losing $26m in tourism revenue a year. (B) Around $9m of that is lost from tourists' direct spending, such as staying at hotels and buying crafts, with the rest through indirect value in the economy such as farmers and other suppliers supporting the tourist industry.

The study, published in the journal Nature Communications, found that in most cases the revenue losses were higher than paying for stronger anti-poaching measures to keep elephant populations stable. (C) Dr. Robin Naidoo, the paper's lead author and , senior conservation wildlife scientist at WWF and his team found. In the case of central Africa's forest elephants, which are harder for tourists to see and therefore attract fewer visitors, the costs of protecting them exceed the benefits from tourism. Demand from south-east Asia has seen the price of ivory triple since 2009 and it is estimated that one elephant is killed every 15 minutes. (D) Corruption, a lack of resources, and, most importantly, increasingly sophisticated poachers have hamstrung African countries' efforts to stem the trade.

Naidoo said that the research was not suggesting economic issues should be the only consideration when protecting elephants, but framing the poaching crisis as a financial one could motivate African governments and communities.

“It gives an additional reason for some groups of people, who may not necessarily be motivated by intrinsic reasons for conversation, to engage with biodiversity conservation. It makes it clear to them that it's not just in the best interests of the world to conserve this stuff, but tangible reasons for a whole different group," he said.
