The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species is a comprehensive database managed

by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) that assesses theglobal conservation status of various plant and animal species Established in

1964, this widely recognized resource classifies species into different categories

based on their risk of extinction, providing a crucial tool for conservation efforts

worldwide

The Red List uses a set of criteria to evaluate the status of species, considering

factors such as population size, distribution, and threats they face in their naturalhabitats The categories include "Least Concern," "Near Threatened,"

"Vulnerable," "Endangered," "Critically Endangered," "Extinct in the Wild," and "Extinct."

The Red List is an essential reference for scientists, policymakers, and conservationists, offering a

comprehensive overview of the current state of biodiversity globally It plays a vital role in guiding

conservation strategies and decision-making processes by identifying species at risk and highlightingthe urgency of conservation measures

Regularly updated, the IUCN Red List is a dynamic tool that reflects the evolving status of species and

helps track changes in their conservation status over time By providing a standardized and widely accepted assessment of the extinction risk faced by various species, the Red List contributes

Question 18 Read the following text and circle the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions below.

Going to university is often considered the natural process forsecondary school leavers, but it may not always be the best optionfor everyone There are several reasons to take into account beforemaking this decision, especially when considering alternative paths.Firstly, university education primarily focuses on academicknowledge and theoretical learning While this is valuable in manyfields, it may not adequately develop essential soft skills thatemployers often seek Soft skills such as communication, teamwork,

and problem-solving are crucial for success in the workplace Other

options, like vocational training or apprenticeships, can offer

valuable hands-on experience and practical skills that employers

highly value

Secondly, pursuing a university degree often requires a lot of money The costs of tuition fees,accommodations, and daily expenses can add up, resulting in individuals taking on student loans that

may take several years to fully repay For those who are not passionate about academic pursuits or

have clear career goals that require a university degree, this financial burden may outweigh thebenefits

Furthermore, the job market is constantly changing, and some university degrees may become

obsolete in certain industries Employers often prioritize practical experience and work readiness over

academic qualifications alone Gaining relevant work experience through internships or entry-level

positions can provide valuable insights, skill development, and networking opportunities that enhance

employability

In conclusion, university education is not necessarily the best option for all school leavers Byexploring different options, individuals can find the path that best aligns with their interests, goals, andfuture career prospects.
