The gentle giants' numbers have dipped from as many as 163,000 in 1985 to just over 97,000 last year, according to the report The steep decline was one of the headline statistics from the report, and is driven by some familiar factors including habitat loss, civil unrest and unforgetably, illegal hunting. Elsewhere, of the 742 newly recognized bird species in the list, 11% are considered threatened ‒ and 13 already listed as "extinct" "Many species are slipping away before we can even describe them," IUCN Director General Inger Andersen said in response to the report's publication. "This IUCN Red List update shows that the scale of the global extinction crisis may be even greater than we thought." Among bird species under threat is the African grey parrot, a popular pet, which is now classed as "Endangered" on the list because of "unsustainable trapping and habitat loss." Across animals, birds, insects, aquatic life and plants, the list now includes 85,604 species, of which 24,307 are threatened with extinction Giaoandethitienganh.info The plunge in the number of wild giraffe prompted the group to move the animals from the "least concern" rating to "vulnerable", in the report "Whilst giraffes are commonly seen on safari, in the media and in zoos, people ‒ including conservationists ‒ are unaware that these majestic animals are undergoing a silent extinction," IUCN coChairman Julian Fennessy, was quoted as saying "With a decline of almost 40% in the last three decades alone, the world's tallest animal is under severe pressure in some of its core ranges across East, Central and West Africa. As one of the world's most iconic animals, it is timely that we take risks for the giraffe before it is too late."

There are three questions in this part. Listen to a talk about Artificial Intelligence and decide if the following statements are true or false You can listen to the recording twice Now you have thirty seconds to look through the questions Good morning, everybody! Today, I am going to tell you something about Artificial Intelligence which is usually called by its short form AI Generally, AI is the science and engineering of making intelligent machines, especially intelligent computer programs. It is also related to the tasks of using computers to understand human intelligence. Sometimes but not always or even usually, it is about simulating human intelligence After World War II, a number of people started to work on intelligent machines. The English mathematician Alan Turing may have been the first to decide that AI was best researched by programming computers rather than by building machines. By the late 1950s, there were many researchers on AI, and most of them were basing their work on programming computers The first and most popular branch is logical AI. This program is represented by sentences of some mathematical logical language. It decides what to do by inferring that certain actions are Giaoandethitienganh.info appropriate for achieving its goals. Articles proposing this were MC159, MC187 and MC96 to name just a few Planning programs is the second branch. They start with general facts about the world, especially facts about the effects of actions, facts about the situation and strategies for achieving the goal Genetic programming is the third most popular branch, referring to a technique for getting programs to solve a task by mating random programs and selecting fittest in millions of generations III.
