Ngày nay có rất nhiều vườn quốc gia trên khắp thế giới và số lượng đang tăng lên theo thời gian. Một vườn quốc gia là một khu vực đặc biệt để bảo vệ môi trường và đời sống hoang dã.

Ở Việt Nam hiện tại có 34 vườn quốc gia. Vườn Quốc gia Côn Đảo là một trong số đó. Nó đã trở thành vườn quốc gia vào năm 1993. Vườn nằm trên huyện Côn Đảo, tỉnh Bà Rịa – Vũng Tàu. Vườn có 16 đảo nhỏ bao phủ 20000 héc-ta. Hệ sinh thái ở đây rất đa dạng với hàng ngàn loài sinh vật bao gồm cả sinh vật biển. Có rất nhiều loài san hô cũng như rùa, cá heo và loài cá cúi đang nguy cấp cũng sống ở đây. Vườn cũng là nhà của rất nhiều loại gỗ quý và các loại thảo dược. Ba cây cổ thụ ở trong vườn cũng được đặt tên là “Cây di sản Việt Nam”.

Vườn quốc gia Côn Đảo, giống như những vườn quốc gia khác, đóng vai trò quan trọng trong việc bảo vệ những loài nguy cấp cũng như bảo vệ môi trường và các tài nguyên thiên nhiên. Nó cũng giúp nâng cao nhận thức của người dân địa phương về sự quan trọng của thiên nhiên.

Read the following passage and write the letter A, B, C or D on the top of the first page to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

In 1972. a century after the first national park in the United States was established at Yellowstone, legislation was passed to create the National Marine Sanctuaries Program. The intent of this legislation was to provide protection to selected coastal habitats similar to that existing for land areas designated as national parks. The designation of an areas a marine sanctuary indicates that it is a protected area, just as a national park is. People are permitted to visit and observe there, but living organisms and their environments may not be harmed or removed.

The National Marine Sanctuaries Program is administered by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, a branch of the United States Department of Commerce. Initially, 70 sites were proposed as candidates for sanctuary status. Two and a half decades later, only fifteen sanctuaries had been designated, with half of these established after 1978. They range in size from the very small (less than 1 square kilometer) Fagatele Bay National Marine Sanctuary in American Samoa to the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary in California, extending over 15,744 square kilometers.

The National Marine Sanctuaries Program is a crucial part of new management practices in which whole communities of species, and not just individual species, are offered some degree of protection from habitat degradation and overexploitation. Only in this way can a reasonable degree of marine species diversity be maintained in a setting that also maintains the natural interrelationships that exist among these species.

Several other types of marine protected areas exist in the United States and other countries. The National Estuarine Research Reserve System managed by the United States government, includes 23 designated and protected estuaries. Outside the United States, marine protected-area programs exist as marine parks, reserves and preserves.

Over 100 designated areas exist around the periphery of the Caribbean Sea. Others range from the well-known Australian Great Barrer Reef Marine Park to lesser-known parks in countries such as Thailand and Indonesia, where tourism is placing growing pressures on fragile coral reef systems. As state, national, and international agencies come to recognize the importance of conserving marine biodiversity, marine projected areas whether as sanctuaries,parks, or estuarine reserves, will play an increasingly important role in preserving that diversity.
Question:What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. Differences among marine parks, sanctuaries, and reserves

B. Various marine conservation programs

C. International agreements on coastal protection

D. Similarities between land and sea protected environments
