Threaten /ˈθrentn/ (v): hăm dọa, đe dọa, [ + to infinitive ] 3. Globe /gləʊb/ (n): địa cầu, trái đất, thế giới. → Many plant and animal species around the globe are now threatened with extinction. 4. Extinct /ɪkˈstɪŋkt/ (adj): tuyệt giống, tuyệt chủng. → Extinction /ɪkˈstɪŋktʃn/ (n): sự làm tuyệt giống, sự tiêu diệt, sự tiêu hủy. 1. Endanger /inˈdeinʤə(r)/ (v): làm nguy hiểm, gây nguy hiểm. → Endangered species: những loài có nguy cơ bị tuyệt chủng. 5. Biologist /baɪˈɒləʤɪst/ (n): nhà sinh vật học. 6. Identify /aɪˈdentɪfaɪ/ (v): nhận ra, nhận biết, nhận dạng. Endangered species are plant and animal species which are in danger of extinction. Những loài bị nguy hiểm là những loài động – thực vật đang bị đe dọa bởi sự tuyệt chủng. Over 8,300 plant species and 7,200 animal species around the globe are threatened with extinction, and many thousands more become extinct each year before biologists can identify them. Hơn 8.300 loài thực vật và 7.200 loài động vật trên khắp trái đất bị đe dọa tuyệt chủng và hàng ngàn loài khác trở nên tuyệt chủng mỗi năm trước khi những nhà sinh vật học có thể nhận ra chúng. While you read: Primary /ˈpraɪmərɪ/ (adj): chính yếu, chủ yếu, bậc nhất. Habitat /ˈhæbɪtæt/ (n): môi trường sống, nơi sống. → The panda’s natural habitat is the bamboo forest. Exploitation /ˌeksplɔiˈteiʃn/ (n): sự khai thác, sự khai khẩn. Drainage /ˈdreiniƺn/ (n): sự rút nước, sự rút nước, hệ thống thoát nước. Wetland /ˈwetlænd/ (n): đầm lầy. Urbanization /ˌɜ:bǝnaiˈzeiʃn/ (n): sự đô thị hóa → Urbanize (v): đô thị hóa. Construction /kǝnˈstrʌkʃn/ (n): sự xây dựng. Toxic /ˈtɒksik/ (adj): độc hại. [= Poisonous] Contaminate /kənˈtæmɪneɪt/ (v): làm bẩn, làm ô uế, làm nhiễm (bệnh). Drive . to sth: đẩy, dồn … vào thế … . Verge /vɜ:ʤ/ (n): bờ, ven. → Contaminated water and global warming have driven many species of animals and plants to the verge of extinction. (Ô nhiễm nước và sự ấm lên toàn cầu đã đẩy nhiều loài động thực vật đến bờ vực tuyệt chủng.) Read the paragraph 2 and jot down some new words! Commercial /kəˈmɜ:ʃəl/ (adj): (thuộc) buôn bán, (thuộc) thương mại. The primary causes of species extinction are habitat destruction, commercial exploitation and pollution. Nguyên nhân chính của sự tuyệt chủng của các loài là sự tàn phá môi trường, sự khai thác thương mại và sự ô nhiễm. The drainage of wetlands, cutting of forests, urbanization and road and dam construction have destroyed or seriously damaged natural habitats. Việc tháo nước từ các đầm lầy , chặt phá rừng, đô thị hóa và xây dựng đường xá, đập ngăn nước đã tàn phá hay gây thiệt hại nghiêm trọng đến môi trường tự nhiên. Since the 1600s, worldwide commercial exploitation of animals for food and other products has seriously reduced the number of rare species. Từ những năm 1600, sự khai thác động vật để làm thức ăn và các sản phẩm khác mang tính thương mại trên toàn thế giới đã làm giảm đi một cách trầm trọng số lượng các loài quý hiếm. Toxic chemicals in the air and land, contaminated water and increased water temperatures have also driven many species to the verge of extinction. Các hóa chất độc hại trong không khí và trong đất đai, nước bị ô nhiễm và nhiệt độ nước tăng lên cũng đã đẩy nhiều loài đến bờ vực của sự tuyệt chủng.
