VietNamNet Bridge – On January 1, 2018, the 2017 amended Criminal Code with stricter provisions and heavier sanctions on wildlife crime took effect.

Criminals can be sentenced up to 15 years in prison

Criminals can be sentenced up to 15 years in prison and a pecuniary penalty of up to VND15 billion.

The first Criminal Code in 1985 only mentioned crimes related to forest management and protection and the illegally poaching of birds and animals. The maximum penalty stipulated in the law was three years imprisonment.

In the 1999 Criminal Code, the term ‘wildlife’ for the first time was legalized. The pecuniary penalty was raised to a maximum of VND50 million, while the crimes were subject to seven years in prison. Tiếp tục đọc “Law on wildlife crimes takes effect, but enforcement still weak” →

Lúa gạo là thức ăn căn bản của hơn phân nửa dân số thế giới hay hơn 3,3 tỉ người, trong đó Châu Á chiếm 90% tổng sản xuất và tiêu thụ. Năm 2013, thế giới sản xuất 747 triệu tấn lúa trên diện tích 161 triệu ha và trao đổi mậu dịch toàn cầu độ 37,5 triệu tấn gạo (FAO, 2014). Theo phỏng đoán Cơ quan FAO, đến năm 2050 dân số sẽ tăng đến 9,6 tỉ người, thành phố sẽ mở rộng thêm, diện tích đất trồng lúa bị thu hẹp dần, năng suất lúa tăng chậm và mức độ sản xuất lúa gạo hiện nay không thể bắt kịp nhu cầu dân số tăng cao lúc đó, nếu con người không đạt được những tiến bộ kỹ thuật đáng kể như đã thấy trong Cách Mạng Xanh cuối cùng. Cuộc Cách Mạng Xanh này xảy ra trên thế giới trong thập niên 1970 và 1980, nhờ vào khám phá các gen lùn lúa mì của Nhựt Bổn và áp dụng kỹ thuật lai tạo tuyển chọn di truyền của các chuyên gia Mỹ và Á Châu.

One of the biggest issues at the intersection of sanitation, poverty and global health, open defecation has also long been one of the hardest to represent visually.

For photographer Andrea Bruce, however, the challenge meant she did not have to think too long before agreeing to the year-long project documenting an issue both deeply sensitive and hugely important. The resulting photo essay, commissioned by National Geographic, has been selected for a first prize in the prestigious Pictures of the Year awards.
