IUCN Red List

1     Read the text about IUCN Red List. (Đọc văn bản về Danh sách Đỏ IUCN)

The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List is a comprehensive catalogue of the conservation status of species. Information is collected from all over the world and carefully analysed. Many factors are taken into consideration, such as the remaining numbers, the overall increase or decrease in the population, breeding success rates, and known threats. The IUCN Red List then classifies species into seven categories: Extinct (EX), Extinct in the wild (EW), Critically Endangered (CR), Endangered (EN), Vulnerable (VU), Near-threatened (NT), or Least Concern (LC).

After Extinct and Extinct in the wild, the highest risk category assigned by the IUCN Red List is Critically Endangered. A Critically Endangered species is a species that is facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild. Endangered is the next most severe conservation status for wildlife. A Vulnerable species is one that is likely to become endangered if the circumstances threatening its survival and reproduction do not improve. The main reason for its vulnerability is habitat loss or destruction.The species labelled Near Threatened and Least Concern, have had their conservation status assessed and found to be relatively safe and healthy, though they may be in decline.

The number of extinct and endangered species is increasing every year. It is estimated that over 40 per cent of the species on Earth are at risk of extinction. The IUCN Red List featured 3079 animal and 2655 plant species as endangered worldwide in 2012, and 1102 and 1197 respectively in 1998. Many countries in the world now have laws to conserve wild species and protect endangered and threatened species. However, much more has to be done to successfully safeguard the biodiversity of our planet.

Audio script

Hello, everybody. I'd like to share with you my first-hand experience of a humanoid robot.

I met one on the floor of a Tokyo department store, working in customer service. Aiko Chihira was so life-like that I first mistook her for a human being. I was so surprised when I saw so many people taking pictures of a receptionist. Only a few minutes later did I realise that she was a robot! She was wearing a traditional silk kimono and looked really pretty. I think she is supposed to be in her early thirties. Her silicone body was perfect and her subtle movements when bowing or blinking made her seem almost real.

I heard that many people rushed to the department store that day not to shop, but to see Chihira with their own eyes. Some people didn't even believe that she was a robot. One woman said that she had never expected that Chihira would be so real.

I had already seen pictures of robotic broadcasters reading news reports. However, this face-to-face meeting made a strong impression on me. I still feel very excited and look forward to seeing other humanoid robots in the future.
