Biodiversity in Viet Nam

Vietnam with biodiversity values ​​high and is recognized as one of the countries should be a priority for the conservation of global biodiversity.

Since 1994, Vietnam has joined the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). Since then, the Government of Vietnam was concerned, considerable investment in both human and financial resources for implementation of commitments and their obligations to the Convention.

However, in the process of industrialization and urbanization has adverse impacts on the conservation of biodiversity in Vietnam, requires the possible solutions and the further efforts of agencies functions from central to local levels for this work.

_ The threat to biodiversity
Biodiversity in Vietnam is facing a lot of threats. The increase in population and consumption is pressure led to overexploitation of biological resources, along with the development of economy, society has changed the natural landscape. The use of land, build more infrastructure has reduced the area of ​​natural habitat, increasing fragmentation of ecosystems, degrade the habitat of many animals and plants.
Coastal sandy area is type specific ecosystem of the central coastal province hardly altered, reducing the function as preventing sand, shoreline erosion protection, storage of freshwater. According to statistics, private sandy area of ​​Ninh Thuan from Ha Tinh to 85.100ha. From 1999 to now by the development of shrimp farming in the sand and ilmenite placer mining, the construction of the resort was destroyed thousands of hectares of coastal sand-Central region, casuarina forests and coastal protection is impaired, increase speed inland sand encroachment, impact on agricultural ecosystems.

The survey results showed that one of the causes of mangrove deforestation is due to conversion to shrimp ponds ... The vast natural tidal estuary in the northern delta and Southern also shrunk to the clam flats. Recently, a significant water surface in vVnh Halong, Bai Tu Long used to develop aquaculture in floating cages. The form of this culture is also one of the causes of environmental deterioration of water, loss of ecosystems, coral reefs, sea grass which grow here.

The catfish, basa with high stocking density in the Mekong Delta is the cause potential environmental pollution, affecting the biodiversity. Excess fish feed with high levels of nutrients are not destroyed all public high with products from fish farming excretion, leading to organic pollution, the impact on the ecosystem and aquatic communities there.

The construction of reservoirs for hydroelectric besides loss of natural forests, preventing the migration of fish, cleavage river. Many hydroelectric reservoirs in operation when not operating properly process as flood discharge regime, ensure environmental flows cause damage to people, the economy, affecting ecosystems downstream. In addition, the development of infrastructure also increases the mechanical population creates indirect impacts to biodiversity degradation.

To limit the decline in area and quality of the natural forest, the Government of Vietnam has promulgated a series of regulations to control commercial logging. However, the illegal logging activities still take place in some localities. The construction of timber road transport is often easier to create conditions for activities of hunting and NTFP extraction, greater pressure for fauna, flora species already heavily affected by the recession and habitat fragmentation.

Approximately 1/5 of Vietnam's population dependent on fishing to survive, these activities also contribute greatly to the food needs of people and exports. However, the increase in consumption, along with the management of fisheries has not been effective has led to excessive fishing in many areas, depleting fisheries resources and break the inshore reefs . Many seafood species have high value severely impaired as lobster, abalone, scallops ... Catching destructive as the use of explosives, poison and electric shocks to fishing still takes place both in inland and coastal areas, threatening more than 80% of Vietnam coral reefs.

Rising temperatures also increase the possibility of forest fires, especially in the forests on peat land has damage biological resources, has increased greenhouse gas emissions increased climate change. Climate change, along with the decline in the area of ​​watershed, using water resources unreasonable rod leads to floods, flash floods, landslides ... happen more and more, increasingly serious consequences for with human life and the environment.

G7

Group of Seven (or G7) is a group of countries which are economically advanced and are considered leaders of the world. The group includes the US, UK, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, and Italy.

G7 was originally G6 ("Group of Six). Founded in 1975, G6 consisted of France, Germany, Italy, Japan, United Kingdoms, and United States. In 1976, Canada became the seventh member. Later, in 1998, under term of President Yeltsin, Russia joined the group, which changed into "Group of Eight" (G8). In 2014, because of the annexation of Crimea, Russia was forced to leave G8, which now becomes G7 again.

Many have raised the question whether or not China, India should be allowed to join the Group. They are rapidly growing countries with very robust economies. The G7 consists of countries with highly advanced economies, so why shouldn't China and India be allowed? Evidently, their economies have proven to be one of the best, and China and India's presences in the group would greatly augment the strength of the world economically.

Russia joined the group in 1998 creating G8 but was kicked out lately because of the intense political issues in Ukranine. Also to China and India, these two countries are considered whether should be aloowed to joined the group. The way I see it, the bigger the group expand, the more arguments they would have then spliting up into smaller groups with different perspective.

Nuclear Energy

Nuclear energy is often used in developed countries. Some people believe that compared with other energy sources, it is the best energy source in terms of cost efficiency, while others argue that it is extremely dangerous in the event of leak or nuclear operators . I agree in part with the statement for the reasons below.

First, it is argued that nuclear energy is produced in bulk. Solar and wind which is obtained from natural resources are proven restricted while nuclear energy is created with a large volume by applying high technologies. However, to build nuclear power plants, it requires a huge amount of time and effort. It is estimated to need more than a century to complete a factory in the government, in the meantime, put all the downshifting to train experts to operate it. In other words, technology and expertise are required to complete the nuclear power plant.
Second, believe that this energy source CO¬¬2 reduce emissions into the atmosphere compared to other sources and save the exploitation of other natural resources. According to scientific data, statistics, the proportion of CO2 released from burning waste and hydroelectric plant ten times higher than its exit from nuclear energy. Besides, once nuclear energy prevails, the government take advantage of natural resources such as wind limits, solar or water is not necessary. But, in case of unexpected accident, the risks posed by the exploitation of nuclear energy less dangerous. Chernobyl in Russia is an example. Thousands of people suffered respiratory problems in the next generation when faced with birth defects. Environment said, the entire remaining area near the blast were engulfed in radioactive environments, making those who can not live there anymore.
In summary, nuclear energy has advantages and disadvantages of it. Depending on economic conditions and the long-term plans of each country, the government can use it or applications of others to achieve the needs of their people.

Choosing healthy water

The consideration of the advantages and disadvantages of the products or technologies even if they do not have the brand is also important, as for the case of using the reverse osmosis and distillation of water treatment. The use of this process for purifying water are also controversial, especially in developed countries and higher interest rates to public health. So if you use this process the minerals can be harmful as well as beneficial in the country will be completely removed. In fact the researchers to suggest that if the use of this water for a long time would be dangerous because of the deficiency of the mineral supply to the body.

Two very negative things happen when we consume the water has been removed from its natural minerals. First, because of demineralized water containing hydrogen, it is considered as a liquid is acidic with pH <7. When we consume an acidic substance, our body will take minerals from teeth and bones to produce bicarbonate to neutralize the acid. Second, it is proved that the body fluids of us acidic than alkaline, the free radicals in the body will increase, leading to an increased risk of cancer. Many studies show that cancer cells can only grow in an acid environment. fact seems to have proven this theory when one study found that in the world, the region has the highest life expectancy and are less prone to disease area using alkaline water (water mineral containing high).

When considering the benefits of tap water, bottled water, demineralized water or distilled water, keep in mind that there is not any kind is not possible, any type of water purification have been through it all better water not filtered. The problem here is simply the choice is best juices for health only. By comparing the composition of the substance in water (water quality) and cost can easily determine what is the best product and the best fit for use.
