Read the passage about the Red List and decide if the following statements are true or

Africa's wild giraffe population has plunged dramatically and the world's tallest animals are
in the process of a "silent extinction", a conservation group has reported
Giraffe populations have fallen by up to 40% over the last 30 years, the International Union for Conservation of Nature says in the latest edition of its "Red List" of endangered species The gentle giants' numbers have dipped from as many as 163,000 in 1985 to just over 97,000 last year, according to the report
Trang 5The steep decline was one of the headline statistics from the report, and is driven by some
familiar factors including habitat loss, civil unrest and unforgettably, illegal hunting
Elsewhere, of the 742 newly recognized bird species in the list, 11% are considered
threatened ‒ and 13 already listed as "extinct"
"Many species are slipping away before we can even describe them," IUCN Director
General Inger Andersen said in response to the report's publication "This IUCN Red List
update shows that the scale of the global extinction crisis may be even greater than we
thought."
Among bird species under threat is the African grey parrot, a popular pet, which is now
classed as "Endangered" on the list because of "unsustainable trapping and habitat loss."
Across animals, birds, insects, aquatic life and plants, the list now includes 85,604 species,
of which 24,307 are threatened with extinction
The plunge in the number of wild giraffe prompted the group to move the animals from the
"least concern" rating to "vulnerable", in the report
"Whilst giraffes are commonly seen on safari, in the media and in zoos, people ‒ including
conservationists ‒ are unaware that these majestic animals are undergoing a silent
extinction," IUCN co-Chairman Julian Fennessy, was quoted as saying
"With a decline of almost 40% in the last three decades alone, the world's tallest animal is
under severe pressure in some of its core ranges across East, Central and West Africa As
one of the world's most iconic animals, it is timely that we take risks for the giraffe before it
is too late."
Of nine subspecies of giraffe, five are declining in numbers, while three have increasing
populations and one is stable
True False
39 We can forget about the threat of poaching to giraffes because it no longer
exists
40 The causes leading to the significant decline of giraffes are different from those
Trang 6happening to other species.
41 Over a third of newly-listed plants and animals are in danger of dying out
42 Once-popular grey parrot is in danger of extinction resulting from continuous
catching
