BioNTech Annual General Meeting Vaccine effective against mutants

Status: 06/22/2021 6:13 p.m.

BioNTech boss Sahin uses the vaccine manufacturer’s general meeting to spread good news: Production will be increased and the vaccine also protects against virus variants. In view of the growing spread of the delta variant of the coronavirus, which is considered to be more dangerous, many people are wondering how the effectiveness of the various vaccines is doing in this regard. At today’s Annual General Meeting, CEO Ugur Sahin gave the all-clear for BioNTech’s product: “There is currently no evidence that our vaccine needs to be adapted to the variants in circulation,” he said. That does not mean that the company is stopping development: According to Sahin, BioNTech is working on flexible processes in the areas of technology, production and approval.

Constant analysis

In order to be prepared and to be able to react quickly if a third dose should be required to boost existing vaccinations or to adapt to a new virus strain, BioNTech constantly analyzes the effectiveness of the vaccine against newly emerging variants, the CEO explained.

Sahin also commented on the subject of booster vaccinations: It is not yet known when and how often a booster will be necessary. But he assumes “that a third vaccination is of great value for boosting immunity,” said Sahin. Knowledge about the corona virus is steadily increasing. “We observe that immunity will decrease over time and new variants will emerge.”

Sahin against patent release

The one raised by US President Joe Biden and other politicians Request for the release of patents to enable license-free vaccine production in developing countries, the BioNTech boss rejected. It is important to be able to make the vaccine available worldwide “as quickly and as comprehensively as possible”. However, raw materials are currently the “limiting factor”, not patents.

BioNTech is working with partners to deliver the vaccine cheaply to developing countries. However, a patent release would not bring additional amounts of vaccine. The production of the vaccine is very complex and consists of around 50,000 work steps.

Production is increased

During the Annual General Meeting, Sahin also commented on production: The BioNTech boss confirmed that the company, together with its US partner Pfizer, is aiming for a production capacity of up to three billion vaccine doses this year.

In the coming year 2022 it should be more than three billion. BioNTech will manufacture at least half of this. To date, BioNTech and Pfizer have shipped more than 700 million doses of their Covid-19 vaccine to over 100 countries worldwide.

Dividend is possible

The shareholders should also benefit from the billions in sales generated with the corona vaccine. Chief Financial Officer Sierk Poetting said that in the next financial year it should be checked whether and in what amount a dividend is possible.

However, the strategic priority for 2021 is the reinvestment of the capital in order to further advance innovations in various therapeutic areas and technologies as well as our corporate development, said Poetting. The Mainz biotechnology company achieved a net profit of 1.1 billion euros on sales of 2.05 billion euros in the first quarter of this year .

New production facilities

There was also news from BioNTech outside of the Annual General Meeting. The European Medicines Agency’s Committee on Medicinal Products for Human Use gives the go-ahead for two more production facilities to manufacture the joint corona vaccine from Biontech and Pfizer.

One becomes accordingly in Reinbek, Schleswig-Holstein, operated by Allergopharma, the parent company of Dermapharm , the other in the Swiss stone from Novartis Pharma. The work can be started immediately, since no approval from the EU Commission is required

Investment opportunities What to do with the savings in inflation?

Status: 22.06.2021 12:28 p.m.

Even in times of rising prices and zero interest rates, many Germans have their money in savings books or call money accounts. But if you want to protect your savings from inflation, you need alternatives.

From Lothar Gries, tagesschau.de

Consumer prices in Germany rose by 2.5 percent in May – more than they have been for almost ten years. At the same time, there is practically no more interest on overnight and fixed-term deposits, the most popular form of investment among Germans. Cash is also in great demand. The value of the notes issued by the Bundesbank rose by 9.5 percent last year. A similarly high growth rate was last seen in 2014. At the end of May 2021, banknotes issued by the Bundesbank to the value of 839 billion euros were in circulation, 52 billion or 6.6 percent more than a year earlier. But if you want your money to grow, you have to consider other investments than hoarding cash or putting it on savings accounts. There is no shortage of alternative investment opportunities. The long lucrative federal bonds are no longer one of them. The yields on these securities have fallen below zero since August 2019. Investors who lend money to the German state have to pay for it – a turning point, as they still got a return of five percent at the beginning of the millennium. “Today federal bonds have no place in assets that are designed to maintain or increase in value,” explains Ulrich Kater, chief economist at Deka-Bank, which is part of the savings bank group.

No prospect of rising interest rates

Investors should also not give in to the hope that consumer prices, which have recently risen again, will lead to higher interest rates. Inflation is likely to accelerate further until the end of the year, but the European Central Bank (ECB) has repeatedly emphasized that it will adhere to the zero interest rate policy. The priority is to stimulate the economy again after the corona crisis, said ECB boss Christine Lagarde. In addition, the current rise in inflation is only temporary.

Investments that are considered to be risk-free, such as savings books and fixed-term deposit accounts, no longer offer any prospect of positive returns for the time being. In order for the saved to experience growth, stocks in particular offer themselves as a way out. Fund savings plans, for example, are a good way to get started. Investors pay regular amounts, in many cases from 25 euros upwards, into an investment fund in which various securities are bundled and which is managed by professionals. Alternatively, of course, investors also have the option of taking their money into their own hands and buying shares in individual companies on their own. In the past few years, you couldn’t go wrong when buying technology stocks.

Alternative ETF?

If you don’t dare to do this, but still want to invest in stocks, you can invest your money in a so-called Exchange Traded Fund (ETF). These funds replicate a stock market index (often with so-called derivatives). This can be the German share index (DAX) or other indices such as the US leading index Dow Jones. The performance of an ETF is closely linked to the respective index. As a result, the fees are usually lower than with other funds. Investing in the stock market is of course not without risk: If the index behind an ETF falls because the stocks in it fall, the fund also loses value.

Nevertheless, ETFs are enjoying growing popularity. According to industry experts, there are almost 7,000 of these funds. This is also due to the low interest rate phase. It ensures that more people invest their money in funds than before. Many have done well with this strategy and have achieved better returns than they would have achieved on a call money account. For example, an ETF on the DAX alone has generated a return of 55 percent in the last five years – provided that you kept your nerve at the beginning of the pandemic and did not sell when the markets collapsed by a third in spring 2020.

Gold and open real estate funds

A popular investment, especially in times of crisis, is gold. The corona pandemic has confirmed this again. By early August 2020, the price of a troy ounce (31.1 grams) had risen to an all-time high of $ 2,063, around a third more than at the beginning of the year. But then things went downhill again, to $ 1,684 in March. It is currently $ 1,775. In fact, gold is extremely volatile because the price is mainly driven by demand, because it has no “intrinsic value” like companies do. The precious metal is therefore not considered a reliable investment. There is also the often unsafe storage of bars or coins.

Those who shy away from the capital market and don’t believe in precious metals can also invest their money in real estate funds. They collect capital from investors and invest it in offices, shopping centers, residential buildings or logistics centers. The so-called open real estate funds are particularly popular with private investors. The income from such a fund, i.e. the rental income after deducting costs, is distributed to the owners as profit. With well-managed funds, an annual return of four to five percent can be achieved, a little more than the inflation rate.

Sometimes there is a risk of total loss

But the system has a catch. A minimum holding period of 24 months applies to open-ended real estate funds. An investor must also announce the return of his money to the fund company. Then he will get his system back after twelve months at the earliest. So if you have to get your money at short notice at any time, you should refrain from such investments.

The examples show that there is no shortage of alternatives to the savings book or a federal bond. But if you want to increase your money, you also have to be prepared to take risks. In some cases, for example when purchasing shares, there is even a risk of total loss, as the example of Wirecard recently showed. A look abroad – especially the USA, where far more people own shares than in Germany – shows that long-term wealth can only be built up with investments in the capital market

At the same time, the program maintains a healthy network environment, develops an ecosystem of Vietnamese products and applications for children to learn, connect, and entertain creatively. The program sets out a number of specific goals such as: 100% of primary schools, junior high schools, high schools, and child protection and nurturing facilities periodically organize propaganda and education programs for children. knowledge and skills necessary for children to participate in a safe online environment. 100% of children who are victims of abuse in the online environment are supported and intervened at the request of the children themselves or from their relatives and the social community. To achieve the goals, the program will deploy many technical measures, solutions, and technology applications. The program deploys technical solutions to connect, share data, collect and analyze information, monitor compliance with filtering, and remove child abuse content on the network environment; establish friendly information channels to receive and reflect on images, videos and content of child abuse in the online environment; integrate online notification channels on issues related to children in the network environment with the national child protection switchboard number 111. In addition, the program will put into use in the education industry software, information and communication technology applications, scientific repositories, electronic publications to improve the quality of teaching and learning on the Internet. network environment , and at the same time well manage students’ access to the network, innovate the way the school interacts with families and students; contribute to the safe implementation of digital transformation in the field of education and training. The program also encourages and calls for Vietnamese businesses in digital technology, digital content and digital media to develop and master technologies to protect and support children in the online environment and applications and content. help children interact healthy and creative in the online environment.

Illustration. The Prime Minister, on June 1, signed Decision No. 830/QD-TTg approving the program “Protecting and supporting children to interact healthy and creatively in the online environment for the period 2021-2025”. This is the first time that Vietnam has issued a Program at the national level specifically on the issue of child protection in the online environment. The program “Protecting and supporting children to have healthy and creative interactions in the online environment for the period of 2021-2025” aims at dual goals: Protecting the secrets of private life and preventing and dealing with behaviors taking advantage of the online environment to abuse children, with special attention being paid to equipping children with age-appropriate knowledge and skills (digital immune system) so that children can self-identify and be able to ability to protect themselves in the online environment; Maintain a healthy network environment, develop an ecosystem of Vietnamese products and applications for children to learn, connect and entertain in a creative way. The program is highly interdisciplinary with the participation of many state management agencies including: Ministry of Information and Communications, Ministry of Labor – Invalids and Social Affairs, Ministry of Education and Training, Ministry of Public Security; the coordination of socio-political organizations: Vietnam Fatherland Front, Vietnam Women’s Union, Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union Central Committee; the participation of information and communication enterprises, press agencies; and especially the involvement of parents, teachers and caregivers. In order to effectively implement the goal of protecting the secrets of private life and preventing and dealing with acts of taking advantage of the cyber environment to abuse children, at the same time, maintaining a healthy online environment and developing the ecosystem. By embracing Vietnamese products and applications for children to learn, connect, and entertain in a creative way, the program has introduced many innovative initiatives, tasks, and breakthrough solutions, specifically: Deploying new technology solutions (artificial intelligence, big data…) to automatically collect and analyze early warning, prevent/handle content that violates the law on children, inappropriate content suitable for children. Establishing and organizing activities of the Network to rescue and protect children in the online environment with the main tasks of raising awareness and sharing experiences of child protection in the online environment; receive, classify, transfer, and promptly handle complaints and problems arising from children in the online environment; Develop and implement programs and activities to support and encourage businesses to develop initiatives and provide information security technical solutions to protect children from interacting safely in the online environment; propose a pilot mechanism to order businesses to provide products and services developed by Vietnamese enterprises to support children’s creative interaction in the online environment. Integrate online notification channels on issues related to children in the online environment with the National Child Protection Switchboard No. 111; towards forming a single application on the network environment to reflect and share issues related to children. Develop and integrate into the educational program the training of “digital skillset” for children by age, including a number of contents and skills such as knowledge about the Internet, social networks; minimum information security skills; protect personal information online; how to recognize when being exploited or violated in the network environment and where information and reflection are needed… Implement technical solutions at schools to monitor, block and filter access to illegal content and inappropriate content for students of each age group. Previously, on May 26, the Minister of Information and Communications issued Decision No. 716/QD-BTTTT on the establishment of a network to rescue and protect children in the online environment. This network with the participation of many agencies, organizations and businesses acts as an interdisciplinary organization, helping the Minister of Information and Communications to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of state management and real results. performing the tasks of preventing child abuse in the online environment, raising social awareness and creating a safe and healthy online environment for children.

In which, children, digital citizens, enjoy the great achievements of technology and the treasure of human knowledge. However, besides the benefits that technology and the Internet bring, there are countless risks and risks in the online environment, especially for children. This is an existing problem that needs action and strong involvement of agencies, organizations, businesses and the cooperation of the whole society. Today is International Children’s Day, also the first day of Action Month for Children 2021, the Prime Minister signed Decision No. protect and support children to interact in a healthy and creative manner in the online environment for the period of 2021-2025” (hereinafter referred to as the Program). This is the first time that Vietnam has issued a Program at the national level specifically for the protection of children in the online environment. The program has “dual goals” which are: (1) Protecting the secret of private life and preventing and dealing with acts of taking advantage of the online environment to abuse children, with special emphasis on the protection of children. provide children with age-appropriate knowledge and skills (digital immune system) so that children can self-identify and be able to protect themselves in the online environment; (2) Maintain a healthy network environment, develop an ecosystem of Vietnamese products and applications for children to learn, connect and entertain in a creative way.

Not only in North America, Australian farmers also have a headache with these two invasive plants known as super weeds. Photo: Civileats Recent studies have shown that Waterhemp and Palmer amaranth weeds threaten the food supply in North America and are increasingly resistant to herbicides, costing farmers a lot, especially by reducing yield and crop profitability. The results of the study showed that the broadleaf weeds Waterhemp and Palmer amaranth, which damage corn and soybeans in the Midwest of the United States, once caused yield losses of 40 to 70%. Accordingly, Bayer Crop Science has announced a new herbicide, expected to be released by the middle of this decade to help soybean and corn farmers combat weed problems, in particular two Dangerous invasive plants are Waterhemp and Palmer amaranth. Accordingly, the research and development of a new herbicide line Diflufenican will be introduced under the brand name Convintro. While it awaits approval from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Convintro products will be made available to soybean growers for use in post-ripening and pre-ripening applications. germination. Officials from the German chemical group also revealed that the new line of herbicides will also serve as a weed control tool for corn farmers. “Diflufenican has been used for many years in Europe and has demonstrated its ability to manage broad-leaved weeds in crops such as,” said Robert Schrick, Bayer’s crop protection product business lead lentils and winter cereals”. “The addition of a new product Diflufenican as the active ingredient for use in soybeans and corn is not only a first in North America, but also a new field of use for the two crops. Dangerous invasive weeds are Palmer amaranth and Waterhemp to protect soybean and corn fields. Accordingly, we will provide farmers with one more tool to add to their weed management plans,” said Robert Schrick at the press conference. Dwight Lingenfelter, an agricultural extension collaborator in the United States, stands next to a tall weed in a cornfield. Photo: PENN STATE Although the introduction of Diflufenican promises to help soybean farmers manage weeds and regain yield, Schrick says a balanced pest management approach is still the right way. “When it comes to weed management, the best approach is still an integrated, multi-site approach. Management plans that cover many years and a variety of crops will help farmers avoid problems like resistance,” said Mr. “Effective options for integrated weed management are a necessity,” said Frank Rittemann, Bayer Brand Manager for herbicide lines that damage corn, soybeans and cotton. We’re looking at chemicals that control some of the most challenging pests for farmers, and we’re relying on science to bring the best options to market, including in locations never before seen. previously exploited”. The Bayer research team continues to explore expanding opportunities to address today’s challenges and drive new innovations for our customers. “While there may be no silver bullet, our focus on crop protection will provide relentless advancements to add new tools where farmers need them,” said Mr. Rittemann. it’s the best”. Male (left) and female (right) Waterhemp weeds bloom in purple-red flowers in a soybean field in Chatham-Kent County, Ontario, Canada. Photo: fieldcropnews Earlier in a study published in the journal Weed Science , researchers from the University of Illinois (USA) have identified genetic markers that distinguish the male weed Waterhemp and the female weed Palmer amaranth. This milestone is seen as a new approach to genetics that may one day reduce the need for chemical drugs to control weeds. The researchers’ goal is to one day introduce genetically modified male plants to mate with wild female plants. The transgenic male plants will carry the gene drive (a technique to induce inheritance that favors specific genes to alter the population as a whole), a segment of DNA coding for masculinity will be passed on to all. its offspring and so on. Eventually, all plants in a given population will become male, reproduction will cease and the grass population will be destroyed.

How do ultraviolet rays affect the eyes? Eyes are very sensitive to any touch, including light. Looking at objects that are too bright for a long time, the eyes will quickly get tired, the feeling of eye pain appears. In the bright sunlight of summer, radiation from the sun easily causes blurred vision and premature degeneration… Therefore, protecting eyes from ultraviolet rays is very necessary. Ultraviolet rays appear in the sun, located in the 400-100nm wave band, appearing more and more, making eye diseases at an increased risk. If you look directly into the sunlight, it is more dangerous for your eyes. Ultraviolet rays (also known as UV rays, ultraviolet rays) cause eye burns, corneal damage, cataracts… The first harmful effects of ultraviolet rays can cause eye burns, easily encountered if we stand in the sun for a long time and do not have the protection with sunglasses, a hat. Symptoms of the disease are burning of eyelids, feeling of burning, itching, dry eyes and continuous blinking, blistering of endothelial cells. This phenomenon occurs a lot can lead to blurred vision, blurred vision. At first, ultraviolet rays only affect the eyelids and cornea. If severe, UV rays will affect the lens, leading to cataracts. In addition, damage to the endothelial cells of the retina leads to macular degeneration. Eye damage can be immediate or permanent after absorbing the UV rays present in the sun. In the eyelids, sunlight can cause some types of blepharitis, especially ciliary cancer such as basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and malignant melanoma. Normally, after being exposed to ultraviolet rays, from 6-15 hours, there will be visual disturbances such as decreased vision, seeing halos around light sources. After that, the patient will feel like there is a foreign object in the eye, watery eyes, very afraid of light. Usually, if progress is good, after 8 hours, these symptoms will go away on their own. In case of prolonged exposure to sunlight, ultraviolet rays can also cause more serious eye diseases such as retinal damage, cataracts, and even blindness. How to protect your eyes: The most important way to avoid sun damage to your eyes is to avoid direct exposure to the sun, avoiding the time when UV rays are the most, such as from 11am to 4pm. If we must work in the sun, we must find ways to limit the sun’s penetration into the body in many different ways such as wearing hats, wide-brimmed hats, covering the face… Ultraviolet every time you go out. Hair also needs to be shielded from the bad effects of the sun. Hair also needs proper sun protection Every day, the hair has to endure a lot of harmful effects from the environment: wind, dust, sun … making the hair worse and worse. At the same time, factors such as: age, aging process, daily hair care habits, abuse of dyes, excessively hot hair drying… are also causes of faster aging process. hair, causing the hair to lose more and more natural tolerance, become weak and break. To protect the hair, Health of life We recommend that you perform the following solutions: Sun protection for scalp and hair: Standing in the sun for a long time, especially when the scalp is wet from sea water or water from the pool, can easily cause the scalp to burn and become red. Therefore, you should wear a wide-brimmed hat to protect your hair from the sun. Rinse your hair with clean water before and after swimming: Another enemy of hair is chlorine in swimming pool water. The simplest way to reduce the impact of chlorine on the hair is to rinse the hair with clean water before swimming, helping the hair follicles to expand and fill with water, minimizing the amount of chlorine absorbed into the hair when swimming. After swimming, wash and rinse your hair thoroughly with clean water. Let your hair dry naturally: If possible, instead of using a blow dryer, be patient and let your hair dry naturally. While a hair dryer is convenient, it can easily dry, break and damage hair if not used properly. Daily you should use nourishing and care oils with essential protective ingredients such as moisture, UV protection. Make it a habit to steam your hair once a week to directly provide essential nutrients to your hair. Sunscreen spray for hair: You should not only protect your skin from the sun but forget about protecting your hair from the sun, UV rays and high temperatures from the sun. Your solution is hair-specific sunscreen sprays with UV protection that help protect hair from signs of damage without being greasy. Note: For healthy hair, do not wash your hair too much. After each wash, the scalp needs 48-54 hours to recover. When you wash your hair too much (wash several times a day or wash it every day) and use too much shampoo, you will make the oil layer on the scalp lose, the protective layer of the hair roots is affected, making the hair easy to fall and break. than. Eating enough nutrients such as vitamin B2 found in milk, meat, liver, bread helps healthy hair; vitamin B5 found in chicken, oranges, egg yolks… has the effect of nourishing hair; especially vitamin B3 found in yeast, fish, beans because this is an important ingredient, without it, hair will turn gray at a fast rate. Regularly drink milk and eat dairy products to provide optimal nutrition for your hair.

Asia Industrial Technology Joint Stock Company (Quat Dong Industrial Complex, Thuong Tin District) installed partitions at the workplace to prevent and control the Covid-19 epidemic. Many solutions implemented We are present at TOMECO An Khang Joint Stock Company (Ngoc Liep Industrial Cluster, Quoc Oai District) amid the complicated developments of the Covid-19 epidemic in the community. Here, the working atmosphere is still very busy, although workers have started to rotate to ensure distance. All of them wore masks, had to check their body temperature in and out of the factory, disinfect their hands… Worker Nguyen Quang Vinh said: “In the first 4 months of 2021, orders were collected from last year, so we couldn’t do it all. job. The disease just broke out again, but the company’s leaders have applied many prevention and control measures, so everyone is confident to focus on production.” Information with a reporter of the New Hanoi Newspaper, Chairman of the Board of Directors of TOMECO An Khang Joint Stock Company Le Quy Kha emphasized that the prevention and control of epidemics and production protection for the company is now an important task. head. The company has arranged the production block to implement the distance, while the indirect department has moved to work online. Due to the complicated situation of the Covid-19 epidemic, after the holidays of April 30 and May 1, the company requires workers who are scheduled to travel through epidemic areas or related to epidemic areas to make medical declarations. , self-isolate for health monitoring at home from 14 to 21 days. All employee benefits, even when working online, are fully maintained. “Our most successful over the past 1 year is that there have been no cases of infection and no one in the F1, F2 category,” said Mr. Meanwhile, records at B.Braun Vietnam Co., Ltd. (Thanh Oai industrial cluster, Thanh Oai district) also show that epidemic prevention measures are taken drastically. As a unit specializing in the production of intravenous fluids and single-use medical products, with more than 1,500 workers, in order to effectively prevent and control the Covid-19 epidemic, the company soon established a Risk Control Committee. , operating 24 hours a day. Finance director of B.Braun Vietnam Co., Ltd. Nguyen Viet Hung said that in this fourth outbreak, the company has 1 worker named F1 who has been taken to concentrated isolation, 62 F2 workers have been quarantined. isolation at home. Therefore, the epidemic prevention measures in the company have been activated at the highest level, such as: Disinfecting the entire company; workers when coming to work must make a medical declaration, wear a mask, measure their body temperature, and maintain distance according to regulations; In the kitchen, there are shields to prevent droplets… “For those who work online, the company pays 100% of the salary. As for those who have to be isolated, the company still pays 70% of the salary. In addition to equipment imports (accounting for 55% of sales), we have 2 manufacturing plants (accounting for 45% of revenue) running at full capacity. If the situation of the Covid-19 epidemic continues to be complicated, we have planned to isolate all workers on the spot to maintain production, “said Nguyen Viet Hung. These days, local governments in the city also join hands with businesses to carry out epidemic prevention and control to maintain production. According to Chairman of Quoc Oai District People’s Committee Nguyen Truong Son, in the district there are 30 enterprises with more than 2,000 employees working in Ngoc Liep and Yen Son industrial clusters. Together with businesses to ensure safety for production, local authorities have strengthened supervision of the implementation of epidemic prevention measures such as: Disinfection of cargo vehicles and production areas; comply with the message “5K” (mask – disinfection – distance – do not gather – medical declaration)… In particular, the district updated and promptly implemented the directives of the central and city on the prevention and control of the Covid-19 epidemic in industrial zones and clusters to all enterprises; which emphasizes the responsibility of business leaders in realizing “dual goals”… Deputy Head of the Management Board of Hanoi Industrial Parks and Export Processing Zones Tran Anh Tuan assessed that most businesses operating in industrial clusters and industrial parks have strictly implemented Covid-19 prevention measures. The Management Board daily updates information, proactively predicts early situations arising when there is a suspected case of being positive for Covid-19 so that businesses can have a plan in the production organization… Do not let the production chain break In fact, in this fourth outbreak, the Covid-19 epidemic has “attacked” industrial parks in some provinces. With the characteristics of a large concentration of workers, the new strain of SARS-CoV-2 virus has a rapid spread, so industrial zones and clusters become very high-risk points if disease prevention is neglected. Moreover, as soon as there is an infection, a workshop or even an entire factory may have to stop production, the damage is difficult to measure. As proof of this, Vice Chairman of Thuong Tin District People’s Committee Bui Cong Than said, right after detecting positive cases of SARS-CoV-2 virus at Sland Company (Hien Giang commune, Thuong Tin district) in the middle of the week. In May 2021, the district reviewed and immediately quarantined F1 cases and requested home isolation of F2s, including the company’s leadership and many workers. Accordingly, the entire paint and chemical production line must also stop working, and unfinished products must be discarded. According to Chairman of the Board of Directors of TOMECO An Khang Joint Stock Company Le Quy Kha, the most worry of enterprises is that the disease will delay production. “In 2020, the Covid-19 epidemic broke out, production was halted, the company’s revenue decreased. In the first 4 months of 2021, orders and production activities have recovered, if the disease is “attacked”, businesses will face many difficulties. Therefore, we always work together with the city to strictly implement regulations on epidemic prevention and control so that the production chain is not broken,” said Mr. Le Quy Kha. Talking about this issue, Deputy Director of Hanoi Department of Industry and Trade Dam Tien Thang said that the city has assigned the Department to act as a standing agency in inspecting and supervising the prevention and control of Covid-19 epidemic and maintaining production in industrial zones and clusters in Hanoi. Through the inspection, in general, businesses and local authorities have been fiercely involved. But the level of vigilance must be raised further. In fact, doing well in epidemic prevention and control in industrial zones and clusters without letting the production chain be “broken” is also a solution to efforts to realize the “dual goal” and effectively prevent and control the Covid-19 epidemic. result, economic and social development. With the resolute measures of all levels and sectors, the efforts of the business community and workers will help Hanoi city’s industrial zones and clusters be protected safely and maintain production activities.

Mangrove forest in Dong Rui commune has just been restored. The sky began to recede, the tide receded into the sandy beach. Nguyen Thi Phuong and many people in Ha hamlet, Dong Rui commune carried hoe down to Bay Mau hill to dig deep soil (also known as sea worms). The hills are locally called but are actually newly restored mangrove forests running along the commune’s dike. In order to catch earthworms, Ms. Phuong bends down and always has to observe, look for extrusions and then quickly dig up the correct strokes. In just a moment, Ms. Phuong’s basket was full of large earthworms…. In every waking season, the commune’s mangrove forest is always an address for people in Dong Rui commune to make a living, especially since the time when they wake up. outbreak of Covid-19 to date. Phuong said: “In the past, these lagoons were covered, the tiger trees and parrots died without any children. Now there are worms, clams, twilight, stilts. On these trees, snails turn out, clinging to the tree to live. As long as there is a tree, there is life, and if you go to the sea, you can make a living. From the elderly to children, most of them make their living from the sea. Students also earn 100,000-150,000 VND every day. Ms. Nguyen Thi Phuong from Ha village digs earthworms at Bay Mau hill, Dong Rui commune. Far away from where Ms. Nguyen Thi Phuong digs deep into the ground are primeval mangrove forests with black tiger trees, parrots, and mammoth trees that are too high for a person’s head, spreading like raspberries in the shadow of the water. To go to these forests, you have to wait for the water to grow and travel by bamboo boat to reach the tiger trees and parrots that have a lifespan of more than a hundred years. Mr. Nong Van Chien, a resident of Tien Yen said: “In the period of 2010, there was no gas at that time, fuel was limited. People go to the forest to chop down for fuel. In 2013, there was a movement to make shrimp ponds. Everywhere they see zoning, they clear many hectares of forest to make shrimp ponds. Then they realized because the forest was cut down and then due to waves, storms and wind, it greatly affected people’s lives.” After the damage caused by widespread deforestation, new planting projects to fill in the cleared area have been promoted by NGOs and sectors at all levels, increasing the vitality of Dong Rui mangrove forest. . After a while, the vegetation has revived, rising steadily. Under the tree are green fishes, the wider the crabs, the symbiotic snails like affirming the intense vitality of the plants on the mangroves. To protect this forest area, a mangrove management team of Dong Rui commune was established with 3 people, who are responsible for coordinating with forest rangers to patrol, control and remind people to protect the forest. Mr. Hoang Van Thong (62 years old), Leader of the Mangrove Self-Management Group in Dong Rui Commune, said that people now realize the economic values ​​and voluntarily participate in mangrove protection. Under the tree are green fishes, the wider the crabs, the more symbiotic and growing snails. “The three of us regularly check and wade deep into the forest to see if there is any change in the status quo? There is also a lot of reforestation. Since then, people’s awareness has been raised and they know that protecting forests is protecting aquatic resources, especially when being propagated. People here are encouraged to plant forests, they really like it. Many times when they go to the forest, they see newly planted trees leaning against them, “said Thong. Dong Rui is considered one of the most beautiful mangrove forests in the North today with nearly 3,000 hectares, accounting for more than half of the commune’s natural land area. Since being managed and protected closely, the forest is green and lush, resulting in more and more diverse and rich seafood resources. Many households here have a stable income by fishing in the mangroves. The mangrove ecosystem of Dong Rui commune is very diverse and rich in the number of tree species, the ecosystem, and the aquatic species with high economic value such as crabs, crabs, and fish species that bring profit. and good livelihood for the people. Mr. Loc Van Sinh, Secretary of the Party Committee, Chairman of the Commune People’s Committee said that the management of the commune is less difficult than before because there are people in the community. Dong Rui Crab “In the last two years, the commune has planted 25-30 hectares of new mangrove forests to develop mangrove forests in the area. The important role of mangroves has been recognized, both protecting the national breakwater and having aquatic resources. products under the forest canopy to give people a daily income. In order to soon develop the mangroves in the future, it is suggested that the province and the authorities arrange funding sources for the self-managing groups to operate in the future.” Mr. Sinh information. The practical lesson of the negative impacts of mangrove destruction has led people and local authorities in Quang Ninh province to change their awareness and join hands to plant and protect mangroves. The young people of Dong Rui commune now have many new options such as working as workers, opening trading services, but most people in Dong Rui island commune still cling to the sea, cultivate seafood, and stick to mangroves to stay alive. subsistence. The wealth of mangroves is helping the people of Dong Rui change their lives and realize the vital values ​​​​if they work together to “symbiotically” protect the “green lungs” on the island.

Hearing the name feels dear, the trip “Going home” is the journey where we can directly release wild animals back to the primeval forest in Cuc Phuong National Park (Ninh Binh). When joining tour , visitors will cross the forest road, admire the pristine scenery and visit some points of the national park. One small note is that tour limited to 15 people at a time, so as not to affect the re-release. Photo: Cuc Phuong National Park. The individuals of wild animals that are released back into the forest can include birds, monkeys, reptiles, wildcats, civets… These are animals that have been captured and rescued from many animal trafficking and transportation cases. illegal wildlife. The program does not charge a service fee, we can contribute voluntary funds to support conservation activities of the national park. “We believe that anyone who witnesses the moment when wild animals are returned to nature, will have a good feeling with nature in general and with wildlife in particular, thereby stimulating to raise awareness and responsibility of each person in protecting wildlife” – Nguyen Van Chinh, Director of Cuc Phuong National Park shared. Boating to pick up trash, discovering Hoi An is different Young people always want to live fully every moment in new lands, both experience and leave their mark by participating in activities aimed at protecting the green planet and healthy environment. Accordingly, the Hoi An travel itinerary will be different and memorable when the teen joins tour rowing boats to pick up trash along the Hoai River area, from Cam Thanh commune to the city. Photo: Phuong Dien. Join tour , we will row the boat ourselves kayak and used a racket to pick up trash on a road about 8 km along Hoai River. To join this tour, foreign tourists have to pay a fee of 10 USD (about 230,000 VND), while domestic tourists are being completely free. Mr. Nguyen Van Long, director of a travel agency in Hoi An, took the lead in implementing tour This particular tour said, currently tours are held on weekends. Photo: Phuong Dien. “I want visitors to share with me to protect the environment of Hoi An, but I don’t think I will profit from this tour. The amount of 10 USD/foreign guest I collect, I use to buy sacks, rent a boat to collect garbage to destroy, hire staff to serve tourists…” – Mr. Long shared. Fly to Con Dao to protect sea turtles One of the travel experiences that many tourists love when coming to Con Dao is visiting Bay Canh Island and watching turtles lay eggs. However, not everyone knows, the most common species of sea turtle in Con Dao National Park – the vich – is currently listed in the Vietnam Red Book. Therefore, the Management Board of Con Dao National Park has coordinated with the International Union for Conservation of Nature IUCN to bring about efforts to protect this sea turtle. Photo: Khanh Tran. Becoming a volunteer of this program, you will be assigned to many small islands to perform tasks such as following the turtle’s footsteps to mark the egg nest or helping the mother turtle stuck in the roots to return to the sea safely. when crossing land, dig sand to collect eggs and bring them back to the hatchery, record the date of laying – the number of eggs… Not only rescue turtles, the volunteers also help the forest rangers welcome and serve tourists, clean up trash, clean the beach, draw pictures, design billboards to propagate environmental protection messages. environment, protecting nature, preserving sea turtles, contributing to embellishing the island’s space more vividly. Photo: IUCN. “On duty” to rescue turtles right on the beach, so the volunteers also have to get used to the limited use of electricity and water, the phone often loses signal. But what are those obstacles compared to these wonderful experiences, the pride that money can’t buy, right?

The information and images collected by him are valuable documents to help scientists and experts of FFI discover the world’s second largest population of langurs in Kim Bang forest. After that, Mr. Hien volunteered to join the Community Conservation Team and was appointed as team leader. Thanks to this Community Conservation Team, from 2016-2018, the number of langurs recorded grew from 40 individuals to more than 100 individuals. Stories like Mr. Hien became the inspiration in the Program “Honoring organizations and individuals who have made great contributions to wildlife conservation in the period 2010-2020” in response to the International Day of Biodiversity. (22.5). The period 2010-2020 was declared by the United Nations General Assembly as the “United Nations Decade for Biodiversity”. Photo: vuonquocgiavuquang.vn. The period 2010-2020 has been declared by the United Nations General Assembly as the “United Nations Decade for Biodiversity” in order to achieve a shared commitment of countries to protect more than 8 million species of flora and fauna in the world. threatened to balance life on the planet. “Humanity may never know the precious opportunities of incurable diseases or other beneficial discoveries from nature because many ecosystems are permanently destroyed or soils are polluted. unusable,” said Ban Ki-moon, Secretary-General of the United Nations, calling on all humanity to protect the biodiversity on Earth. The call comes as biodiversity on Earth is declining at an increasingly faster rate. More than 1 million species are in danger of extinction. Human activities have changed 75% of the land surface and 66% of the ocean area. Vietnam is in the Top 16 countries with the highest biodiversity in the world, but biodiversity is under increasing pressure due to human activities and climate change. It is noteworthy that human activities are increasingly seriously harming the balance of nature. To counter this trend, over the past decade, many individuals, scientists and conservation organizations have worked to protect wildlife with a series of research, new species discovery and initiatives, jointly provide many effective conservation solutions in Vietnam. Some newly discovered species include Euscorpiopsis Cavernicola scorpion (in Ba Be district, Bac Kan province) and Vietbocap thienduongensis scorpion (Phong Nha – Ke Bang national park, Quang Binh province). The new findings not only have scientific significance but also have high practical value because scorpion venom is a potential natural raw material for the current and future pharmaceutical industry. In addition, precious tree species such as Moc Huong (Aristolochia), genus Arachniodes,… are also studied for their phylogenetic and evolutionary relationships to serve practical applications. Through research, many plant species with medicinal and production value are identified and have a reasonable conservation plan. Many organizations and individuals that have made great contributions to wildlife conservation in the period 2010-2020 also recognized many initiatives and solutions, contributing to improving the effectiveness of efforts of all levels, sectors and the whole society. association in species conservation. For example, the breeding solution has successfully preserved the white-crested pheasant – a rare endemic bird of Vietnam. The distribution area of ​​this rare chicken is in Quang Tri province, previously there were almost no birds and animals due to hunting, trapping and illegal wildlife trade. As a result, the population of the wild Lam pheasant decreased sharply, the last individuals were in danger of extinction. In addition, the breeding pairing of white-bellied Cao Cat (located in Section II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora – CITES) has also been successful, serving environmental education. and preserved in the future. Besides breeding solutions to conserve endangered species, other initiatives also focus on saving wildlife. In which, there are volunteer groups that have rescued 100 sea turtles, of which 94 individuals have been released into the sea; or the bear rescue process, bear farming in a semi-wild environment… These efforts contribute to changing people’s awareness of the importance of wildlife in the ecosystem associated with human life. In a recent report, the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) said that 90% of Vietnamese people support closing the wildlife trade market; 91% support the closure of restaurants that sell illegal and unregulated wildlife.

Changing your skin care regimen in the summer is a must. Here are some summer skin care tips to help control oil and bring out your natural glow. Maintain skin’s moisture Water is your body’s best detox friend, ensuring you have a healthy glow from within. To protect your skin, stay hydrated by drinking at least 8-10 glasses of water a day and stick to your skin care routine. So even if you’re not very thirsty, rehydrate by drinking at least 2 liters of water a day to help your skin look its best. Apply sunscreen Exposure to the sun, hot winds and air conditioning can damage delicate skin cells and cause premature aging. So using the right products will help protect your skin from sunburn, fight harmful UVA rays, and restore your skin. Apply sunscreen to your face at least twice a day, even when you’re at home, as it hydrates and locks in moisture, leaving skin soft and smooth. Clean skin Cleansing is always important, but in the summer it really matters. Sweat and dirt will accumulate on the surface of the skin. Moreover, exposure to pollutants and toxins, will clog pores, causing acne. Keep your skin clear by washing your face morning and night to remove dirt, leaving skin fresher. Choose an ultra-light moisturizer You can use bold, multi-layered makeup for fall or winter. However, in the hot summer, you should use an ultra-light moisturizer. Using products extracted from berries and wine, can control premature aging, heal and tighten pores, and give you smooth, firm skin. Use natural products How to choose among the many attractive products on the market? You can start by paying attention to the ingredients of your ice cream and try to choose ones that do not contain preservatives. Some brands use oxygen, plant extracts, and natural fruits like grapes, berries, and even cocoa. Summer comes with hot and sunny days. It’s nice to live under clear blue skies, but the sun can also take a toll on your skin and hair. Therefore, it is necessary to pay more attention and care to the skin and hair every summer.

Peary reindeer on the British island of Ellesmere. This area is larger than France and Spain combined and three times the size of Germany. However, Canada has a natural area conservation goal called “30 by 30” that aims to preserve at least 30% of the country’s land and seas by 2030. Goal “30 by 30” To live up to the “30 by 30” goal, new protected areas must preserve biodiversity and secure areas for carbon storage, fresh water supply, or protection of recreational areas. based on nature. However, many of these key areas of great benefit coincide with competitive land uses such as agriculture, forestry, and natural resource extraction. This is a challenge for Canada. Traditional conservation methods may not be enough to achieve the “30 by 30” goal and new and innovative conservation methods are needed. The “30 by 30” goal comes from the “Coalition of High Ambitions for People and Nature” – a United Nations initiative to tackle the global climate crisis. 55 member states, including Canada, the European Union, Japan and Mexico, have committed to achieving the “30 by 30” goal. Other countries such as the United States, which are not full members of the alliance, have recently made similar commitments. The reason behind the 30% target is clear: It is imperative to ensure that natural areas that provide essential benefits to humanity such as food, clean water, clean air and a stable climate… are protected. This is considered an “ecosystem service” and is a collection of benefits that the natural environment brings to humans. Humans have dramatically changed, about 75% of the land on Earth, and have caused drastic negative impacts on at least 40% of the oceans, resulting in about a quarter of species being threatened with extinction. Low rates of global biodiversity and loss of natural areas now threaten the world’s natural life support systems, scientists say. Expanding protected land globally is key action that will help reverse these trends, thereby protecting biodiversity and benefiting people. A protected biodiversity area in Canada. Creative conservation Canada’s protected areas cover 12% of the country, and this area could have grown to 17% by the end of 2020 as new parks and new reserves are completed across the country. Expanding from 12% to 30% means adding an area roughly equivalent to the provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba combined. One study found that about two-thirds of the area that provides fresh water and recreational opportunities for Canadians coincides with agricultural land and where resources (oil and gas, minerals, and timber) are owned. This highlights the need for innovative conservation approaches, especially those that focus on the landscape. While natural areas are often prioritized for conservation, farms, forests and pastures are also critical to achieving the 30% target. Landscape conservation requires new and flexible approaches. This could include landowners restoring and managing the land, adding wildflower bands to enhance field pollination, or improving soil and water management to protect water quality. In forests, it is necessary to protect old trees and their carbon stores by prioritizing forest ecosystem health and biodiversity over economic profit. In addition, it is necessary to maintain the complex forest structure by conserving large trees or creating gaps in the forest canopy and planting a variety of forest trees to conserve biodiversity and ecosystem services. Among the techniques mentioned above, there are many techniques that are not new, but combining them in a conservation framework like other conventional techniques would be novel. Previous conservation methods have mainly relied on individual areas in the form of protected areas. It will also be new for governments to actively collaborate with communities, indigenous peoples and conservation groups to carry out conservation work. It is very important to combine the above methods to achieve the “30 by 30” goal. The good thing is that Canada already has a number of factors to make the above combination. Biosphere reserves combine the exploiting lands here to be highly protected, and provide a prime example of how to designate, manage, and operate diverse types of conservation and use. of human. Indigenous protected and conserved areas are another example that can enable countries to manage, use and protect traditional lands according to their legal and cultural systems. These are being applied more and more in Canada. Finally, urban parks such as Rouge National Park in Toronto have been a major benefit to city dwellers and help connect those living in neighborhoods with nature. A forest in Canada. Challenges and benefits Major obstacles to the use of these new conservation methods include the need to rigorously evaluate whether conservation practices are effective. Many of the methods mentioned above are not easily suited to this type of assessment. Next is the “30 by 30” goal of biodiversity conservation, while some of the methods above focus on ecosystem services first and then on biodiversity. How will we decide between these different approaches? The new approaches are complex, requiring large capital and cooperation between governments and communities. In addition, it is difficult to implement and monitor after the method is established, which can lead to unexpected delays and delays. Despite these challenges, new conservation approaches have real potential to conserve some of the most threatened species and ecosystem services where the risk of harm is highest. This ensures the achievement of the “30 by 30” goal of conserving nature and the essential benefits it brings to people.

Accordingly, the subjects in this line have illegally collected, appropriated, bought, sold and used nearly 1.3 thousand GB of data containing billions of information about individuals and organizations nationwide. The dismantling of the above-mentioned large-scale data collection, appropriation and trading line shows the efforts of the police sector in strictly dealing with the theft and illegal use of personal data for handling. according to the provisions of law, creating a deterrent; and at the same time prevent cybercriminals from taking advantage of this information to commit fraud, appropriate property and limit the use of personal information to send spam messages, make “terrible” calls. dad” advertising… It is worth noting that the personal information being traded in the above line is the customers of the banks; power companies, finance, securities, insurance; electronics and fashion stores; services: spa, dental, beauty salon… There is even a list of parents, students, household registration, phone subscribers… Thereby showing that, in order to obtain the personal data of users, in addition to the sophisticated tricks of the perpetrators, there is also the subjectivity and neglect of many people in the security of personal information. Currently, many people are willing to provide personal information (name, address, phone number, email …) to participate in promotions, sweepstakes, purchase online… helping the subjects steal information easily. Therefore, in addition to the investigation and handling of the subjects who steal and illegally use personal information, in order to protect themselves, each individual must raise the awareness of protecting personal data, do not provide information easily, avoid becoming a victim of fraudsters or being bothered by unwanted messages and phone calls.

Elephants in the Central Highlands. (Photo source: PV/Vietnam+) Wild animals and plants play an important role in maintaining ecological balance, ensuring Ecosystem are complete systems, contributing to the provision of ecosystem services for sustainable development, bringing direct benefits to people. The strengthening of wildlife protection is one of the most important tasks of biodiversity conservation. A clear legal system, behavior change communication, and effective law enforcement are considered to be the three decisive factors for the success of a conservation campaign. VNA introduces a series of 4 articles “Joining hands to protect wildlife in Vietnam.” Lesson 1: Facing a downtrend According to the United Nations Intergovernmental Committee in the Global Assessment Report on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services, the rate at which biodiversity is being degraded is unprecedented in history. One million plant and animal species out of a total of 8 million species on earth are on the verge of extinction. In Vietnam, in recent years, biodiversity resources are continuing to decline. The situation of illegal hunting, killing, slaughtering, transporting, trading, and consuming wild animals is still complicated, leading to an increase in the risk of extinction of many wild animals in the environment. nature, negatively affecting ecological balance, human health and the country’s reputation in the international arena. There is also a risk of disease transmission to humans, livestock and poultry. Biodiversity is reduced mainly due to natural loss, overexploitation, climate change, environmental pollution from the use of pesticides, plastic products… and invasive species. In which, urbanization, deforestation, and agricultural development are the main causes causing nearly 75% of the terrestrial environment to be changed, causing species and ecosystems to decline. The wildlife trade has also created many consequences, wreaking havoc on the environment, severely reducing species populations with 67% of animals worldwide already in decline. High diversity comes with risk extinction increase According to the 6th national report to the Convention on Biological Diversity, Vietnam currently has about 51,400 species of organisms that have been identified, including 7,500 species/microorganism strains, about 20,000 terrestrial and aquatic plant species, 10,900 species of terrestrial animals, 2,000 species of invertebrates and freshwater fish, and 11,000 other marine species. Many species have great value for conservation, contribute to science and affirm the global importance of Vietnam’s biodiversity, such as saola, silver-backed chevrotain, giant gill, Truong Son gill, striped rabbit, etc. Asian elephants, bison, gray cows, tigers, leopards, star deer, primates, sea turtles and freshwater tortoises… The International Bird Conservation Organization has also identified Vietnam as having 63 important bird areas. important. Compared with other countries in Indochina, the fauna of Vietnam is quite rich in species composition and has a high degree of endemism. Of the 21 monkey species found in this region, Vietnam has 15 species, of which 7 are endemic species and subspecies. Of the 49 endemic bird species in the region, Vietnam has 33 species, of which 10 are endemic to Vietnam alone. From 2014-2018, 334 new species were discovered for science including 208 animal species, 136 plant species described and published in prestigious international scientific journals and the Institute’s Journal of Biology Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology. According to statistics, the number of species and individuals of Vietnam’s wild species is on a sharp decline, many endangered, precious and rare species are at very high risk of extinction. Like the Ho Guom turtle, there are only 4 known living individuals in the world, including 1 individual in China and 3 individuals in Vietnam. Other large mammals such as elephants, tigers, bears, big cats and pangolins are also threatened with extinction if no resolute and effective protection measures are taken. Sao la – a species endemic to the Truong Son range is also on the verge of extinction. Investigation and monitoring efforts to date have not found any populations of the species in the wild. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List updated in November 2020, the number of threatened species distributed in Vietnam is 745 species, including 64 mammal species, 53 bird species, 70 reptile species, etc. 45 species of amphibians and 96 species of fish. The total number of wild species recorded in the Red Book of Vietnam is 882 species, of which 464 are precious and rare animals (an increase of 108 species within 10 years). There are 116 species that are critically endangered and 6 species that have been converted from different endangered levels to considered extinct, including two-horned rhinoceros, gray bull, tapir, otter civet, lilac crocodile, star deer . The 2016 species inventory proposed to include 1,211 species in the updated Red Book, including 600 species of plants and 611 species of animals. Compared with the 2007 Red Book, the number of threatened and endangered species has increased significantly. Big challenge According to the assessment of the Department of Nature Conservation and Biodiversity (General Department of Environment, Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment), the conservation of wild animals and plants is facing many challenges and limitations. . The issue of protecting wild species, especially endangered, precious and rare species has not yet been unified in the approach to management and conservation; management regime for species in different categories. Especially in matters of criteria for species identification, the list of endangered, precious and rare species and endangered, precious and rare species are prioritized for protection. An otter belonging to group 1B, imprisoned in an iron cage, is illegally sold by stall owner Yen Tam in Thanh Hoa, Long An province in 2020 for 10 million VND. (Photo: Hung Vo/Vietnam+) Duplicating the list leads to an overlap in management regimes and makes it difficult to apply legal documents as well as handle violations in practice. Specifically, the three-bar box turtle belongs to the list of endangered, precious and rare species prioritized for protection and is not allowed to be traded, but at the same time belongs to group IIB – forest plants and animals that are not yet threatened. extinct, but at risk of being threatened if not strictly managed, limited exploitation and use for commercial purposes. The overexploitation and use of wildlife resources, deforestation, and conversion of forest use purposes also lead to habitat loss of species leading to increasing conflicts between humans and species in the region. nature. Species conservation programs are approved by the authorities, but in practice there are few resources to implement. The demand for illegal and unsustainable consumption of endangered wild species for food, medicine, pets, decoration… still exists. The illegal trade in these species is increasingly sophisticated, organized and complicated, with elements of transnational crime. Law enforcement is still limited and ineffective due to lack of resources, including physical, human and financial facilities. Remuneration regimes and policies for enforcement officers are not commensurate with the high responsibilities and risks when facing this crime. The specialized force’s ability to fight against this type of violation on endangered, precious and rare wild species has not yet kept up with the sophisticated and professional tricks of criminals. Some shortcomings and gaps in legal documents make it difficult to handle violations such as the lack of regulations on handling exhibits. In practice, it may take a lot of time for the investigating agency, the procuracies or the people’s court, the trial panel to make a decision, or it may also take time to get the assessment results when the individuals Live and healthy wild animals need to be treated and immediately released back into the wild, which is very expensive to preserve until the case is heard. Cooperation between enforcement agencies has improved, but there has not been a close coordination mechanism, no guidance on the investigation process after the arrest of wildlife individuals or products, including: including the process of making and transferring dossiers from customs, border guards and forest rangers to the police, assessment agencies, procuracies and courts; handling wild animals and their parts after confiscation. In addition, the awareness of the whole society towards species conservation, biodiversity conservation has been improved, but there are still many limitations. Some parts of the people still have a high demand to use endangered wildlife, leading to increased hunting, trading and consumption. Awareness of all levels and branches has been raised, but not enough and not drastically to contribute to the conservation of endangered, precious and rare species effectively and comprehensively. Deputy Director of the Center for Education for Nature (Vietnam Union of Science and Technology Associations) Bui Thi Ha said that corruption is also a big obstacle to wildlife law enforcement efforts because there are With the help of a number of corrupt officials, many criminals have been and are blatantly committing crimes without fear of being discovered, arrested, put on trial or facing punishment. prison./.

Experts from the Hanoi Wildlife Rescue Center directly carry out the re-release of king cobras and Chinese cobras to the forest. Photo: Thanh Dat/VNA Master Ha Hong, Deputy Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Environment and Urbanism, a person with 30 years of experience in environmental propaganda, including wildlife, said that there are barriers when performing this task. According to Master Ha Hong, when social networks develop, one of the factors that “help” reduce biodiversity is the rampant appearance of advertising pages for wildlife trade. In 2019 alone, the Wildlife Protection Department of the Nature Education Center has recorded more than 2,400 cases of wildlife advertising on facebook, youtube, zalo, tiktok and other websites. This number shows no signs of decreasing when the first 4 months of 2020 recorded 424 violations. Meanwhile, the force of news and propaganda for this segment is both lacking and in-depth. In other countries, reporters writing about environmental protection are required to have two university degrees (journalism and environment or equivalent). In Vietnam, reporters mostly have only one of two university degrees (journalism or environmental related majors). Journalism schools and journalism departments of many universities do not have training courses for specialized reporters. Many international organizations, journalism schools, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment sometimes organize field trips and seminars in the field of wildlife, but only at the level of “riding horses to see flowers”. Many press agencies have rotated reporters continuously, there are no correspondents specializing in the field. Master Ha Hong emphasized, to approach investigating a hot incident in a city, industrial park, or factory is not simple, but it is nonetheless much more convenient when crossing passes, wading streams, and crossing forests every week. It takes months, even years, to obtain documents documenting the illegal cutting of precious and rare tree species or hunting and catching wild animals. Access to reporters is also very dangerous because violators are often familiar with the terrain and are ready to use weapons to defend themselves. Currently, many press agencies have to account for their own operating expenses, so the funding for a group of reporters who travels for many days to write investigative reports is limited, causing difficulties due to the inability to access the checkpoints. , border gate, customs to collect information related to the transportation and consumption of wild species. Therefore, the propaganda information is not much, mainly news and articles based on reports of the management agencies, so it is not lively and not detectable. Adding another barrier if not “sticking” to the end, finding out clearly to have specific recommendations when monitoring and information about wild species and vice versa will achieve high propaganda effectiveness. Master Ha Hong shared that 5 animals are listed in Vietnam’s list of 100 most endangered species in the world, including saola, white-crested pheasant, Ho Guom turtle, marlin and snub-nosed langur. More than 20 years of propagating about the cultural land of Ho Guom, including the Ho Guom turtle, even after the turtle died, with the author having 194 direct sightings of floating turtles. These events were published on the websites of the mass media. Many photos of red-eared turtles appearing in Hoan Kiem Lake are also warned because this is one of the animals that threaten the food source of turtles and other species living in the lake. In addition, it is warned that the use of excavator buckets to dredge the lake will seriously destroy the mud ecosystem of Sword Lake. In early 2011, the photo reportage of the Ho Guom turtle swimming with a series of mottled and scratched marks on the back of author Ha Hong was published, attracting the attention of readers, contributing to urging the authorities of Ha Hong. Hanoi accelerates treatment plan for Hoan Kiem Lake turtle. The cause of the turtle’s scratches is that the turtle often goes through the sewage pipe from Ngoc Son temple to the sewer at Dinh Tien Hoang double street. Previously, this water pipe was pinned to the bottom, then turned up, floating on the water surface. Therefore, the city quickly replaced the sewage pipe, buried underground under the columns of The Huc bridge. Thanks to providing scientists with a set of close-up photos of the Sword Lake turtle with accurate images, in 2019, Master Ha Hong was invited to the Scientific Council to accept and make a specimen of the Sword Lake turtle according to current technology. The world’s most advanced plasticizer is made by scientists from the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology and two scientists from the Federal Republic of Germany. In 2020, scientists discovered another individual turtle of the same species as the Sword Lake turtle in Dong Mo Lake. Thus, Vietnam currently has 3 individuals of these turtles, of which 2 are in Dong Mo lake and 1 individual in An Khanh lake. The Hanoi People’s Committee has a plan to preserve this turtle. In addition, in order to overcome cognitive barriers, many NGOs have taken appropriate measures when social networks thrive. International humanitarian organization in Vietnam released the short film “In the future, the big baby” touched the hearts of passengers of Vietnam Airlines (Vietnam Airlines) with a message of hope to end rhino poaching. in Africa, in an effort to reduce demand for rhino horn and wildlife products. The Center for Education for Nature has released a media short film “Your Nightmare-Reality of a Bear” showing the cruel reality of bear bile farming facilities in Vietnam, which requires a change in behavior with humans. nature to avoid unfortunate consequences. The short film “Monkeys are not pets” to raise awareness for people to end the situation of keeping monkeys as pets – an illegal activity that is very popular in Vietnam today. Basic and long-term solution Langur species is conserved in Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park. Photo: VNA Master Ha Hong suggested that the basic and long-term solution for effective propaganda is to open training courses for journalists specializing in the environment in general and wildlife in particular in journalism training schools or journalism departments. solstice. Each student graduates with two university degrees or equivalent in journalism and environment. The authorities need to organize specialized training courses, fostering professional skills for reporters who are monitoring the environmental field every 1 or 2 years. Funding for the internship is enough to support reporters of some press agencies to write articles for many periods. In the process of reporters collecting information, there is an agency to act as a focal point to coordinate with forest rangers, market managers, and local authorities. The solutions in Directive 29 in 2020 of the Prime Minister should be well implemented. The Ministry of Information and Communications directs press agencies to strengthen information and propaganda on the law and solutions to protect wildlife; coordinate with concerned agencies in preventing and strictly handling acts of abusing telecommunications networks and the internet for advertising purposes; exhibiting, propagating, trading in wild animal samples has been banned according to the provisions of law. Mass media agencies shall coordinate with ministries, branches and localities in strengthening propaganda and dissemination of laws on wildlife management; continue to propagate about not using illegal wildlife. Besides, organizing the prize for writing about wildlife every 2 years, launching a movement for reporters to say no to the use of products made from illegal wild animals and plants such as maple syrup. “Drink not drive” movement… Chairman of the Scientific Council of the Party Central Committee Phung Huu Phu emphasized the urgency of protecting wild species, contributing to the conservation of biodiversity in Vietnam, which is derived from the living needs of the people themselves. . The application of science to change behavior especially emphasizes the role and responsibility of setting an example of the team of leaders, managers, people with position and prestige in society. In order to improve the effectiveness of communication to change behavior to protect wildlife, according to Dr. Phung Huu Phu, besides the role of media and forms of information such as the press, literature and art, propaganda. mouth, community activities, social networks, etc., the responsibility of setting an example of cadres and party members, especially those holding leadership and management positions, is of decisive significance. Therefore, in the coming time, concerned agencies should focus on changing their behavior from conquering to living together in order to shape the value of living together, loving and protecting nature.

The front door is the mouth of qi, where energy enters the house. In feng shui, the main door will definitely protect everyone in the house from any negative energy or uninvited guests. To know if the front door is solid or not, check the strength of the door first. Does the lock work? Is it well-repaired? Does it have enough light? The front door is definitely like a gate, creating a barrier between you and the outside world, helping to invite positive energy. 2. Red front door Another way to strengthen the front door is to paint the front door red. Red is an auspicious and powerful color in feng shui.

Facial recognition technology. Photo: https://towardsdatascience.com/ According to the Vietnam News Agency correspondent in Ottawa, in a recent speech to the Canadian House of Representatives, Daniel Therrien, Canada’s Privacy Commissioner, said that bill C-11 is not enough to protect people from identity technology. face and need to include “significant modifications”. This measure proposes to amend private sector privacy laws. Regarding facial recognition technology, Mr. Therrien mentioned US technology company Clearview AI. In February 2021, Daniel Therrien’s office, along with three provincial privacy commissioners, concluded that Clearview AI violated Canadian privacy laws by providing facial recognition software. for the police. What’s interesting is that Clearview AI’s (New York-based) software works by comparing photos with a massive stockpile of billions of photos the company has amassed, collected from various sources. popular social media sites without the consent of individuals. “While we found that Clearview’s practices violated Canadian privacy laws, the company refused to follow our recommendations, such as removing photos of Canadians,” said Mr Therrien. Meanwhile, the new administrative penalty regime in C-11 is not applied to such violations of the law. Therrien noted that the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada is investigating whether online website Pornhub and its parent company MindGeek (based in Montreal) violated Canadians’ privacy rights. MindGeek is accused of regularly sharing videos of child pornography and sexual assault, as well as content that was filmed/or posted without the subject’s consent. Within the framework of the bill, for the most serious violations, fines could be up to 5% of revenue or CAD 25 million (whichever is greater). These measures have been assessed by Canada’s Department of Innovation, Science and Economic Development as the strongest penalty framework among the world’s Group of Seven (G7) privacy laws. Therrien recommends that when there is a conflict between commercial goals and protecting privacy, the privacy of Canadians should take precedence.

Mr. Nguyen Van Tuan (Hung Nghia hamlet, Hung Loc commune, Thong Nhat district) feeds weaver ants. Photo: Nhan An This environmentally friendly agricultural model is gradually being applied in Dong Nai. * Persevere with the new direction Mr. Dang Van Chuc (Hung Nghia hamlet, Hung Loc commune, Thong Nhat district) has more than 5 hectares of agricultural land with many different crops such as dragon fruit, cashew, banana… Around 2017, Mr. Chuc invested in planting 5 lemon pole, in the garden there are a few pomelo trees. Due to being busy with many jobs, Mr. Chuc did not have time to take care of and spray this citrus garden. During a visit to the garden, Mr. Chuc discovered that pomelo trees in the garden had many nesting weaver ants. Surprisingly, these plants were free from pests and diseases. So, he called some farmers in H.Cho Lach (Ben Tre province) to inquire. “The guys in Cho Lach say weaver ants are good for citrus. Then they showed me how to raise ants, multiply the swarm all over the garden. The way to raise is very simple, just hang chicken intestines, duck intestines on the tree and weaver ants come back at an extremely fast speed “- Mr. Mr. Dang Van Chuc (Hung Nghia hamlet, Hung Loc commune, Thong Nhat district) said: “I follow nature, do not use chemicals, but the garden always has fruit, I sell it every month. In total, I find the effect is not inferior, sometimes even better than using chemicals to take care of the tree. With the same price as last year, from the beginning of the year until Tet I sold for from 35,000 VND per kilogram of pomelo, no other garden in this area can sell for as high as my garden. The reason for the sale is because I don’t use chemicals, so people prefer grapefruit from my garden.” Like many other farmers, in the past, Mr. Nguyen Van Tuan’s family (with living in Hung Nghia hamlet, Hung Loc commune) had to spend tens of millions of dong a year to buy pesticides, spray chemical fertilizers, and fertilize a large pomelo garden. 1 ha. That is not to mention the fear of affecting health, the environment and agricultural products that are not guaranteed to be food safe. In 2018, he started tinkering with how to do clean agriculture instead of using chemical drugs that are both toxic and expensive. Mr. Tuan said: “I have researched online, I know that beneficial organisms must be used to destroy harmful ones. In particular, the weaver ant is a very suitable species to destroy harmful pests and protect citrus trees. At that time, there was a nest of weaver ants in my field, but only a few “flare” had. Later, I caught more ants outside the house and brought them to the field to raise.” When he started raising weaver ants, Mr. Tuan received many words from his relatives and neighbors. Despite all the objections, he was determined to do it. However, his perseverance and efforts paid off. The ants gradually adapted to his care and became more and more prolific. Currently, the ants have covered and effectively protected the pomelo garden. Talking about the work of raising weaver ants, Mr. Tuan said: “Weaver ants are easy to raise, and do not take much time, effort and care costs. However, if you don’t know how to take care of it, the ants will leave or die. If it has been determined to raise ants to protect crops, it is not allowed to spray pesticides anymore. Because if you do, the ants will die or leave.” This is also the challenge of farmers who want to apply the weaver ant farming model to protect citrus orchards. According to Mr. Chuc, it takes 1 year for gardeners to have enough time to “build up” ants for the garden. Meanwhile, farmers will certainly be very impatient when their crops are attacked by pests and diseases, so they will use pesticides to make the ants leave. So far, many farmers have not dared to take the risk to apply this model. * Double effect Persevering with the new direction for the past 3 years, both Mr. Chuc and Mr. Tuan have achieved initial successes. Yellow ants nest on pomelo trees. This is a natural enemy of pests that damage citrus trees such as bugs, mealybugs, worms, etc. Weaver ants can kill harmful pests on citrus orchards such as: bugs, aphids, charm worms, mealybugs, stink ants. Therefore, lemon trees and grapefruit trees with weaver ants are almost 100% free of insects. Thus, farmers do not have to use pesticides, do not spend time spraying. This brings many benefits: good for health, balancing the ecosystem, protecting the environment, reducing investment costs. In particular, by growing naturally, without using chemicals, without being harmed by pests and diseases, citrus trees protected by weaver ants will produce large, succulent fruits. “People who make pomelos are afraid of the worm drawing charms, but the yellow ants can kill them all. Mealybugs are also a favorite of weaver ants. If we keep weaver ants in the garden, the quality of the fruit is number one,” said Mr. Chuc confidently. Mr. Dang Van Chuc (left) and Mr. Nguyen Van Tuan by Mr. Chuc’s fruit-laden lemon garden According to Mr. Chuc, raising weaver ants in the garden has only one drawback. That is when harvesting will be a bit extreme because if you are not careful, you will be bitten by ants immediately. Mr. Chuc said that without using pesticides, farmers still have many other ways to handle the plants to flower and bear fruit as they like. For example: adjust the dose of irrigation water, fertilizer … depending on the experience of each person. As for the 5 sao of lemon in Mr. Chuc’s house, thanks to the application of the weaver ant farming model to protect the plants, this orchard can be harvested all year round with an income of about 7-8 million VND/month, minus the cost of only about 10%. Sharing the experience of raising weaver ants, Mr. Tuan said that the rainy season is the season when the pests, bugs, aphids in the garden thrive, the ants have food available, so farmers do not need to give more food. In the hot and dry season, when the amount of food is exhausted, the gardener must provide more “bait” for ants, usually: chicken intestines, duck intestines, dried fish. Feed once a week or a fortnight. This is enough for the colony of weaver ants to reproduce and develop normally. In addition to raising weaver ants, Mr. Tuan also uses IMO yeast to make bio-fertilizers for plants. Accordingly, he took advantage of all kinds of household waste such as garbage, leftovers, etc. to make compost, then mixed with water to irrigate crops. This approach has helped him both reduce costs, and help the pomelo garden to be green, produce a lot of fruit and ensure quality.

This summer is the time when our skin easily becomes a “shelter” of dirt and bacteria. Besides, the amount of oil in the skin can increase, causing the pores to be blocked, leading to continuous acne attack. Therefore, cleaning the skin plays an even more important role in this hot weather. To help the skin always clear, clean and beautiful, please practice “friending” with the following 3 basic skin cleansing steps. The first is to remove makeup, surely you do not intend to go to sleep with your face full of dirt? The next step is to clean your face with a cleanser suitable for your skin type. Exfoliation is not a necessary step every day, but it also helps skin become more comfortable! Limit sun exposure The midsummer sun has a huge effect on your sensitive skin. If you let UVA and UVB rays attack the skin too much, it can lead to premature aging, decreased resistance or even skin cancer. Therefore, to avoid such terrible consequences, you should be aware of how important it is to protect your skin from the sun right now. And that’s also why sunscreen has become an “indispensable object” of all women today. Drink a lot of water Do not think that just taking care of and protecting the skin outside is enough. At the same time, we still have to combine increased resistance even in the body. The fastest way to implement that idea is to drink enough water every day. To maintain beauty in this hot weather, the amount of water you need to load is 2-3 liters of water per day. Another tip for this problem: “Don’t drink a lot of water at once, you should divide it into small amounts and drink it many times”. Food menu “green and clean” Another note for protecting beauty from within is based on the healthy eating menu you have. Because the weather is already “gross” enough, you should limit yourself to the fast, greasy food out there! The quality of the food you eat also affects your skin. To help beauty step up through the summer, you should quickly update your menu with green “dyed” vegetables.

1. Strengthen thigh muscles According to doctors, when you strengthen your muscles, the knee joint is also stabilized. You should do strength training in a safe way, starting with your hips and core. Here are exercises you can do at home: – Warm-up position: Stand up straight, hold the handrail firmly, twist the body at a 90 degree angle (as shown in picture 1). – Next put your foot on the next step. – The front leg is the pillar, lift the back leg to straighten. – Return to the starting position. – Do 10 reps, switch legs and repeat. 2. Wear knee support belt, cushioned shoes when exercising vận Studies have shown that using a knee brace reduces pressure on the knee on the dominant side by 43 percent and the non-dominant side by 63 percent, compared with no support at all. In addition, the knee support belt reduces the side effects of doing deep squats. So if you play basketball or go to the gym, wear a knee brace to protect your knee joint. Doctors also recommend wearing quality running shoes, wearing gel insoles when walking or when standing for long periods of time. 3.Increase the range of motion of the knee Experts have found that most of our knees get stiffer with age. That’s why you have to train your knees to be straight. Knees can be worked out in the pool or at home with the following exercise: -Sit on the bed or the floor. Place a pillow under your ankles, bend your knees. – Use leg muscles to slowly push the knee down. 4. Swimming, water aerobics In cases where you have a high degree of knee pain that can make your mobility very difficult, doctors recommend starting with lower-impact activities. Prioritize swimming and other forms of water aerobics. You can also exercise with a bicycle or elliptical machine. 4 things not to do to protect the knee joint 1. Don’t do squats too deep Performing deep squats can put extra pressure on the knees. You can use a chair for support when exercising to make sure you don’t sit down too low. 2. Do not choose exercises that involve dancing There are certain exercises and activities that can make knee pain worse. Standing too long, squatting the wrong way, or squatting too deeply can cause knee pain. Avoid activities such as jogging and jumping rope. 3. Don’t wear shoes that are too old Shoes are important accessories when you run, walk or stand. Shoes can stretch and wear out after a period of use. No matter how much you love your shoes, don’t wear old shoes when they have lost their support and anti-slip effect. There are 2 types of footwear you should not wear to protect your knee joints, which are high heels and flip flops. High heels shift your center of gravity forward and cause muscle imbalance. Flip-flops are bad for your joints because they don’t support the arch of your foot. 4. Don’t eat too much salt, corn oil, cheese Eating too much salt or corn oil can lead to arthritis. You should reduce salt intake, use extra virgin olive oil. Some experts also recommend avoiding cheese because cheese can speed up knee osteoarthritis, possibly due to its high fat content.

2.10. Get more vitamin D by getting plenty of sun exposure Ultraviolet rays are known to cause many significant harm to the skin, eyes and many other parts of the human body. However, not everyone understands correctly about ultraviolet rays. Misunderstandings about ultraviolet rays can make you stay in the wrong way. Find out information about ultraviolet rays in the article below will help you have a better view of this ray as well as understand the best of ultraviolet rays. 1. What is ultraviolet rays? Ultraviolet or ultraviolet rays are also abbreviated as UV, from the English language is Ultraviolet. Ultraviolet rays are electromagnetic waves with shorter wavelengths to visible light but longer than X-rays. Ultraviolet rays can also be divided into near ultraviolet with wavelengths from 380 to 200 nm and far ultraviolet or vacuum ultraviolet with wavelengths from 200 to 10 nm. Specifically, when ultraviolet rays affect human health and the environment as follows: UVA rays, also known as long wave or black light, have a wavelength of 380-315 nm. UVB is also known as the average wavelength with a wavelength of 315-280 nm. UVC has a shorter wavelength of 280 nm and is also known as a short wavelength, or is sterile. 2. Understand correctly about ultraviolet rays In summer, the highest time of year ultraviolet rays appear because direct sunlight greatly affects the skin, eyes and human health. So what major myths do you often encounter in the summer about ultraviolet rays that affect your quality of life? 2.1. Subjects are more susceptible to exposure to UV rays Young people are more vulnerable to UV exposure. Research data shows that up to about 50% of people are exposed for life to ultraviolet rays before the age of 18. Young people are more often exposed to ultraviolet rays than young people spend more time outdoors than older people. In particular, young people under the age of 18 still do not fully understand the harmful effects of UV rays to their health, so they do not really pay attention to covering their skin, wearing a wide-brimmed hat or sunglasses to protect their eyes when going out in the sun. . Ultraviolet rays affect everyone if they do not protect the skin properly – Photo Internet 2.2. When do UV rays appear highest? It is known that the amount of UV rays in the sun will be the most from 10 am to 4 pm. This is also known as the time when the sun contains the most ultraviolet rays of the day affecting people. In addition, in Vietnam, ultraviolet rays are most active in the summer. Vietnam is a tropical country, ultraviolet rays are present in all seasons of the year but highest in the summer. 2.3. Effect of ultraviolet rays on the eyes like? Many people mistakenly believe that ultraviolet rays cause little effect on the eyes. In fact, the harmful effects of ultraviolet rays on the eyes often accumulate over time. In particular, many cases of harmful effects from ultraviolet rays to the eye once it has emerged can leave permanent consequences. 2.4. At what time does ultraviolet rays affect the eyes most strongly? Ultraviolet rays are most active from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. It is wrong to assume that this is the time when ultraviolet rays have the strongest impact on the eyes. In fact, eyes and skin are not the same. The human eye tends to be most exposed to UV radiation in the early morning and late afternoon. This means that the eyes are exposed to ultraviolet rays before 10 a.m. and after 4 p.m. Read more: How are UV rays harmful to the eyes? How to protect eyes from the sun. 2.5. Wear sunglasses help protect against UV rays? Many people believe sunglasses can 100% protect eyes from UV rays. However, this is a misconception. In fact, not all sunglasses are created with the same process and quality. This shows that there are many types of sunglasses that do not provide the ability to protect the eyes from the harmful effects of UV rays. Especially the sunglasses sold on the market without brand. Research done confirms that up to 45% of ultraviolet rays can still reach the eye even when you wear glasses with UV protection. Therefore, experts make the mistake of choosing large sunglasses that surround the eyes and need to make sure that the sunglasses you use are effective in protecting the eyes from ultraviolet rays. In addition, glasses should be worn during outdoor activities. Absolutely not subjective because wearing sunglasses does not completely protect the eyes from UV rays as you think – Internet photo 2.6. Do you have ultraviolet rays in cloudy weather?

Many people are curious to see the fish, to add more things to make food, there are quite large fish that are picked up for everyone to caress and still “cooperate” normally. The most observed fish are pangasius, mackerel and a few red carp living around. Mr. Hao affirmed: “Raise for fun and protect them, as much as we can feed them, we will stop when the fish flock”. The wild fish population is cared for and fed every day by people In order to create a safe living environment for the fish to live, Mr. Hao’s family made a fence around, installed fishing ban boards, hung lights overnight, family members and residents took turns watching. . Every time she fed the fish, Mrs. Nguyen Thi Le Thuy (wife of Mr. Hao) whispered, “Eat and hide, listen to some children, let them catch them”.

Where there are no gatherings but they stop at this point, the fish probably feel safe and can live, so I try to contribute to raising and protecting them. Around people who regularly provide food, whenever there is a shortage of industrial food, they are filled with other vegetables, which are easy to raise ”. Currently, the aquatic resources in the wild are decreasing day by day due to the destruction of human fishing. People’s jobs are only single actions, but show a positive change in awareness, contributing to the protection of natural resources.
