One difficulty faced when illegal bones, horns and skin are seized is knowing where they came from.Fortunately, there are ways that artificial intelligence can help For example, every tiger has a unique stripepattern, like a fingerprint With this knowledge in mind, scientists in India have created a database powered

by AI containing images of tigers and their specific stripe pattern, which has been successfully implemented

to determine that a piece of tiger skin came from a protected area and thus had been poached rather than

farmed Information like this is hugely valuable for officials, since it allows them to pinpoint areas where

there is poaching activity Currently, efforts are being made to expand the database with images from othercountries and regions worldwide.

Taking a different approach is Professor Fritz Vollrath of the University of Oxford, who spent decadesstudying the properties of various biological materials before turning his attention to ivory He is nowworking with researchers in China to develop a man-made version of natural ivory “Ivory is a nice materialthat people like to handle – but does it have to come from a dead elephant? What if we can create a mixture ofcollagen and minerals that has the same qualities?” he says Likewise, startup company Pembient is trying toproduce a synthetic form of rhino horn They’ve created a few prototypes and expect their final product to beready for sale in 2022 at only $2.61 per gram.

Meanwhile, Professor Milind Tambe in California, using 14 years of data on poaching activities inQueen Elizabeth National Park, were able to create a system that would predict likely hotspots for poachingand direct patrols there to remove traps before they can kill any animals, plus generate new routes to areas

where patrols were often sparse in the past Perfecting the program day by day, Tambe is now partnering

with many wildlife agencies to integrate it into their software “My job is to support conservationists, and tosee what I can do for them,” says Tambe

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correctanswer to each of the questions

The health benefits of coffee may be regularly disputed, but a new study has linked caffeine consumptionwith improvements in heart health In fact, consuming four cups of coffee a day could help protect

cardiovascular cells from damage and also help them to repair themselves.

In a study published in PLOS Biology, researchers from Heinrich-Heine-University and the IUF-LeibnizResearch Institute for Environmental Medicine in Düsseldorf, Germany, found that caffeine may improve thehealth of the cells which line the arteries and veins, thus strengthening their ability to recover from damage.The researchers suggest drinking coffee – or other caffeinated beverages – could be particularly beneficial forthe elderly, who are more at risk of heart problems than younger people.

“Our results indicate a new mode of action for caffeine, one that promotes protection and repair of heartmuscle,” said study author Professor Judith Haendeler “These results should lead to better strategies forprotecting heart muscle from damage, including consideration of coffee consumption or caffeine as anadditional dietary factor in the elderly population.”

Commenting on the research, Professor Tim Chico, Professor of Cardiovascular Medicine and HonoraryConsultant Cardiologist, University of Sheffield, said: “These are very interesting findings but need to be

confirmed in clinical trials before we can tell whether caffeine is truly helpful after a heart attack in humans

[ ] I do not think people need to drink more coffee in response to this study, but that people who alreadydrink coffee can be reassured that it might have health benefits, as long as they don’t use it to wash down anenormous muffin, cake, or doughnut.”
