Chào các bạn,

Đây là một cây cổ thụ được bảo tồn tại một công trường tại Lisbon, thủ đô Bồ Đào Nha. Ở công trường này, các toà nhà cũ (trong khu phố cổ trung tâm) đã được đập đi, hoặc giữ lại một phần và chuẩn bị xây các toà nhà mới. Cây cổ thụ còn lại được bảo vệ một cách đặc biệt bằng khung sắt và lưới, cho đến khi hoàn thành toà nhà mới mà không bị chặt đi. (Hình do mình chụp, click vào hình để nhìn rõ hơn)

Corrupt Vietnam Gov’t officials cashing in on massive timber theft from Cambodia

LONDON: Corrupt Government officials and military personnel in Vietnam are complicit in smuggling huge quantities of illegal timber from Cambodia, a new report reveals.

Those involved are pocketing millions of dollars in bribes from timber smugglers for their part in allowing hundreds of thousands of cubic metres of logs stolen from Cambodia’s National Parks to be laundered into Vietnam’s voracious timber economy.

The revelations are featured in the new report ‘Repeat Offender: Vietnam’s persistent trade in illegal timberPDF’ from the London-based Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA), released just days before Vietnam and the European Union (EU) are due initial an agreement seeking to ensure only legal timber is exported from Vietnam.

VietNamNet Bridge – The nghien (excentrodendron tonkinense) kingdom growing on the rocky mountains in Ha Giang and Tuyen Quang is getting smaller because of illegal logging.

This is a hard, tough and durable wood with no termites, even if it is buried underground. Tay and Nung ethnic minorities like using nghien wood to make columns of houses and floors. Walking on nghien-made floors never produces creaking. Nghien-made chopping boards are favored, because the knife cuts are clean won’t leave debris.

VietNamNet Bridge – Billions of dollars have been poured into the stock market within a short time, returning the market to its peak of 10 years ago.

Although records have been beaten, the market is different from the ‘bubble period’ in 2007. In early May, there were more sellers than buyers, a time when many people often buy.

A number of shares have continued rising in price after hitting new records. The VN Index is still on the rise after reaching a 9-year peak. Analysts said it has increased by 11 percent so far this year, or two times higher than the same period of 2016. Tiếp tục đọc “$1 billion within 3 days: stock market records 10-year high” →
