Trang 4New research shows that long-term changes in diseases in ocean species coincides with decades of
widespread environmental change The paper, "Increases and decreases in marine disease reports in an era
of global change," was published Oct 9 in Proceedings of the Royal Society B
Understanding oceanic trends is important for evaluating today's threats to marine systems, anddisease is an important sentinel of change, according to senior author Drew Harvell, professor of marinebiology at Cornell University "Disease increases and decreases can both be bad news," said lead authorAllison Tracy, who studied with Harvell "The long-term changes in disease that we see here may resultfrom anthropogenic pressure on plants and animals in the ocean." The researchers examined marineinfectious disease reports from 1970 to 2013, which transcend short-term fluctuations and regional
variation They examined records of corals, urchins, mammals, decapods, fish, mollusks, sharks, rays,
seagrass and turtles
For corals and urchins, reports of infectious disease increased over the 44-year period In theCaribbean, increasing coral disease reports correlated with warming events It is widely known that coralbleaching increases with warming, but Harvell said they have established a long-term connection betweenwarming and coral disease "We've finally linked a coral killer like infectious disease to repeated warmingbouts over four decades of change," she said "Our study shows that infectious disease reports areassociated with warm temperature anomalies in corals on a multi-decadal scale." These results improveunderstanding of how changing environments alter species interactions, and they provide a solid baselinefor health of marine life in the period studied

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
To quote CREST founder Dr Martha Honey, we earnestly believe that ecotourism is “simply a betterway to travel.” Here’s a look at how this transformational approach to travel benefits conservation,increases cross-cultural understanding, and ultimately turns travelers into environmental advocates:
To see how ecotourism benefits nature and wildlife, let’s look at endangered species such as AfricanElephants Ivory from Elephant tusks is worth $1500 a pound on the black market, which has led to adramatic increase in poaching But Elephants are worth 76 times more alive than dead When you
consider the revenue from wildlife photography tours, luxury safari camps, and other ecotourism
offerings, a single Elephant is worth $1.3 million over the course of its lifetime! Ecotourism offers a term alternative to exploitation, generating sustainable revenue and ensuring better overall health of theecosystem
Nature reserves and national parks help prevent deforestation and pollution, while also protecting thehabitat of endemic species The revenue that ecotourism provides can help replace profits fromexploitative practices such as mining or slash ‘n’ burn agriculture It can also help ensure the long-term
financial viability of the area Naturalist guides also help travelers understand the value of a pristine
ecosystem, and teach them about the importance of conservation This ultimately help to create a moremindful and conscious legion of travelers
When managed properly, ecotourism can offer locals alternative revenue streams In wildlife-richcountries such as Rwanda, former poachers are often employed as guides or trackers, capitalizing on theirknowledge of the animals and their habitat In Costa Rica, unemployment has fallen to less than 10%since the country started building its ecotourism infrastructure in the 1970s Involving local communities
in tourism management empowers them by ensuring that more revenue is reinvested locally Ecotourism
also offers indigenous peoples an opportunity to remain on ancestral land, conserve it, and preservetraditional culture
Sure, being a responsible traveler takes a greater level of commitment to being conscious and mindful
of the impact we have on the destinations we visit But ecotourism also offers us incredible,transformative experiences, allowing us to develop closer personal relationships to the nature, wildlife,and local people we encounter during our adventures Learning about ecotourism can permanently changeyour understanding of mankind’s role in our planetary ecosystem And once you’ve had that sort of travelexperience, you’ll never want to travel the traditional way again
