II. Read the passage and answer the questions
Recent research reveals that the degradation of agricultural soils, forests, woodlands, coastal fisheries, and wildlife
resources is more and more serious. The majority of the estimated costs of environmental degradation comes from forests
and natural resources are being depleted at an alarming rate. More than 50% of the original forest has been converted to
agricultural land by slash and burn. Despite land expansion, productivity has declined because of soil erosion. Fish,
timber, and non timber forest product stocks are decreasing. As a result, coastal towns have begun to experience severe
water shortages. Hydropower is dropping. Wildlife populations and biodiversity are in serious decline and many species
face extinction. Poor forest management and soil degradation result in huge economic losses. The degradation of water
increases the costs and reduces the quality of both water and power. The prospects for economic development and poverty
reduction are dependent on natural resources. Rural households rely on natural resources for their livelihoods, fisheries,
and wildlife which provide protein in diets. Urban economic activities depend on reliable hydroelectric power. However,
peole do not have much awareness of protecting the environment on which their life depends.
