Over the past decade, Vietnam has intensified its tiger conservation efforts, yet the population of wild tigers remains critically low. Estimates suggest that only about five tigers persist in the wild, with no national surveys conducted since 2009 to provide updated figures. In 2010, at the Global Tiger Summit in Russia, Vietnam joined 12 other countries in pledging to double the global wild tiger population by 2022. Subsequently, in 2014, the Vietnamese Prime Minister approved a national program aimed at conserving tigers through habitat protection and population restoration. Despite these commitments, (18)__________ India, Nepal, Bhutan, Russia, and China, (19)__________. Concurrently, there has been a significant rise in the number of captive tigers within Vietnam. The registered captive tiger population, predominantly housed in private facilities, surged from 97 in 2010 to 364 in 2021.

Organizations like Education for Nature Vietnam (ENV) argue that none of the current breeding centers meet the stringent requirements necessary for effective conservation breeding. (21)__________ To address these challenges, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development plans to enhance oversight of tiger breeding facilities. Proposed measures include comprehensive investigations, the creation of detailed management records, and the establishment of a national database incorporating genetic profiles, imagery, and electronic tagging of all captive tigers. ENV emphasizes that these initiatives will be effective only if implemented alongside clear policies that strictly regulate breeding activities and manage the disposition of deceased tigers. Recommendations also call for the development of specific regulations on birth control for captive tigers so that (22)__________.

Read the following passage about coffee and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30. Counting Coral is a nonprofit organization dedicated to restoring coral reefs through innovative methods. They design, donate, and install sculptural coral gene banks—functional underwater artworks that rehabilitate damaged reefs. These sculptures serve as nurseries for resilient coral species, promoting biodiversity and aiding reef recovery. In March 2024, Counting Coral unveiled its second Sculptural Coral Gene Bank at Vomo Island Resort in Fiji. This installation spans 60 feet in diameter and reaches a depth of 18 feet, currently nurturing over 370 parent corals. The gene bank doubles as an artificial reef and an underwater living art piece, attracting marine life and divers alike. The organization addresses critical threats to coral reefs, such as climate change, ocean acidification, pollution, and coastal development. Rising sea temperatures cause coral bleaching, where corals expel the symbiotic algae, they rely on, leading to weakened and dying reefs. Ocean acidification further degrades corals' ability to build their calcium carbonate skeletons. Additionally, pollution from land-based sources and coastal development smothers coral and reduces water quality. Counting Coral's approach not only aids in reef restoration but also engages local communities by creating employment opportunities and raising awareness about marine conservation. By installing these functional attractions, they divert diver traffic from fragile reefs, increase revenue for local communities, and strengthen marketing opportunities for partnering organizations. Through their unique blend of art and conservation, Counting Coral transforms human engagement with coral reef restoration, fostering a future where coral reefs can thrive as they should.
