The wild giraffe population in Africa has decreased sharply, and these tallest animals are facing a 'silent extinction', according to a conservation organization.
The International Union for Conservation of Nature reports that giraffe numbers have dropped by up to 40% over the past three decades, from around 163,000 in 1985 to just over 97,000 in 2015. This significant decline is highlighted in the latest 'Red List' of endangered species, attributed to factors like habitat destruction, civil conflict, and notably, illegal hunting. Additionally, among the 742 newly added bird species, 11% are deemed threatened, with 13 already considered 'extinct'.
Numerous species are vanishing before we even have the chance to document them. This update to the IUCN Red List suggests that the global extinction crisis may be more severe than previously realized. The African grey parrot, a well-known pet, is now categorized as 'Endangered' due to 'unsustainable trapping and habitat destruction.'
The IUCN Red List now catalogs 85,604 species across animals, birds, insects, aquatic creatures, and plants, with 24,307 of these facing extinction threats.
The decline in wild giraffe numbers led to their reclassification from 'least concern' to 'vulnerable' in the report. IUCN co-Chairman Julian Fennessy noted that despite giraffes being frequently seen on safaris, in media, and in zoos, many, including conservationists, are unaware of the ongoing silent extinction of these majestic creatures. With a nearly 40% drop in the past 30 years, giraffes are severely pressured in key areas of East, Central, and West Africa. Given their iconic status, it's crucial to act swiftly to protect them. Among the nine giraffe subspecies, five are declining, three are increasing, and one remains stable.

2.6 Review the passage below and select the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to mark the correct response for each question.
If you love water activities, Hawaii is the ideal destination. You can swim year-round in the warm waters. You can also enjoy sport fishing from either the shore or a boat. For those interested in boating, options include sailing, canoeing, or windsurfing. Additionally, Hawaii offers other popular water sports like surfing, snorkeling, and scuba diving.
Surfing, a sport that originated in Hawaii, is known as “he’e nalu” in Hawaiian, meaning “to slide on a wave.” To try surfing, you first need to be a proficient swimmer and have a strong sense of balance. You must paddle out with your surfboard and wait for a calm moment once the waves start breaking. Try to stand on the board as the wave rises beneath you. Steer with your feet to stay on top of the wave. Maintaining your balance is crucial to avoid falling off. Master this, and you'll enjoy an exhilarating ride to the shore.
Scuba diving and snorkeling offer a close-up view of the ocean's underwater beauty. The Hawaiian waters are clear, warm, and home to numerous colorful fish. Coral reefs in shades of red, gold, white, and light purple add to the vibrancy of the underwater world. You might also spot larger fish or sea turtles among these reefs.
Scuba diving offers an opportunity to explore fascinating underwater landscapes. “Scuba” stands for “Self-contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus,” referring to the gear used for breathing and navigating deep waters. In Hawaii, you can enroll in specialized courses to learn scuba diving. Upon completion, you receive a certification to dive independently. Due to its risks, thorough training and careful practices are essential for safe diving.
For those seeking adventure, snorkeling is an alternative to scuba diving. It requires minimal gear: a mask, a snorkel, and fins. Learning to snorkel takes only a few minutes. Although it doesn’t allow deep diving, you can glide with your face submerged, breathing through the snorkel. Floating on the surface while using fins, you can still enjoy the vibrant underwater scenery.

On Monday, May 12, 2008, an 8.0 magnitude earthquake struck in Sichuan Province, southwestern China, causing severe destruction. Numerous aftershocks ensued. The quake obliterated countless structures, including buildings, roads, schools, hospitals, and critical infrastructure such as communication networks and power towers. Many lives were lost, with thousands more missing, and over 45 million people were impacted. It stands as the most devastating natural disaster China has faced in three decades.
The American Red Cross donated 20 million dollars to aid the relief and recovery efforts led by the Red Cross Society of China. This contribution will fund the provision and distribution of relief materials, coordinate logistics, and ensure the transport of disaster response teams to the most affected areas. Additionally, the American Red Cross dispatched relief experts to oversee and facilitate these efforts. On June 6, they co-hosted a forum addressing U.S. response and recovery strategies post-earthquake, with over 30 representatives from humanitarian organizations, businesses, and government entities in attendance.
More than 35,000 Red Cross Society of China personnel and volunteers mobilized to provide food, water, shelter, and other vital resources. The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies contributed 100,000 tents to support those in need.

The American Red Cross has a long-standing collaboration with the Red Cross Society of China, dating back to the 1906 famine and continuing through severe weather events earlier this year. They have maintained close communication with the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, standing ready to offer additional support, including disaster personnel, supplies, or financial aid.
Concerned family and friends in the United States may face difficulties reaching their loved ones due to the disruption of telecommunication services caused by the disaster.
