The list was revealed Tuesday at a meeting of the global body’s Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage. The Cham pottery traditional was one of 56 customs reviewed by UNESCO before publishing the list. Women historically craft most customary Cham pottery, which includes household and kitchen items – jars, pots, trays and vases – as well as religious objects and art. Instead of using the pottery wheels popular in the west (also known as turntables), Cham women walk around the wet clay as they sculpt it with their hands. They then bake the pottery outdoors with firewood and straw for seven to eight hours without glazing it. It cooks at uniquely low temperatures of about 800 degrees Celsius. Other ceramicists typically glaze their pieces before cooking them over fiery temperatures of around 1,1620-1,240 degrees Celsius. The Cham tradition also entails collecting all raw materials locally rather than buying items from other regions.

Plastic pollution has increased in recent years around Ho Chi Minh City's Can Gio district and put pressure on Can Gio Mangrove Biosphere Reserve, the first world biosphere reserve in Vietnam, recognised by UNESCO in 2000.

Scientists often study the grim impacts of losing wildlife to hunting, habitat destruction and climate change. But what happens when endangered animals are brought back from the brink? Research has shown restoring so-called "keystone" species -- those with an outsized impact on their environment -- is vital for the health of ecosystems, and can come with unexpected benefits for humans. Here are some notable examples from North America. Wolves Few species evoke the American wild as much as wolves. Though revered by Indigenous communities, European colonists who arrived in the 1600s embarked on widespread extermination campaigns through hunting and trapping. By the mid-20th century, fewer than a thousand gray wolves were left in the contiguous United States, down from at least a quarter million before colonization. Extinction was averted in the 1970s when lawmakers passed the Endangered Species Act, helping revive the apex predator in parts of its former range. Then, … [Read more...] about How bringing back lost species revives ecosystems

Marketing authorisations (MAs) have been a pressing issue among multinationals and the Vietnamese government and the Ministry of Health (MoH) has made a number of actions to deal with it. What is the current situation? Tran Ngoc Anh, representative of the US-ASEAN Business Council Member companies of the US-ASEAN Business Council highly valued the issuance of Resolution No.12/2021/UBTVQH15 at the end of 2021, which enabled the continued use of MAs scheduled to expire before the end of 2022. The MoH then issued a list of about 10,000 drugs with MAs expired in 2021 and extended until the end of 2022, thus creating favourable conditions for the drugs to continue their imports into Vietnam and ensuring supply for hospitals to meet examination and treatment demands. Until now, all the issues related to MA for the drugs in 2022 have been dealt with. However, starting from January 2023, these 10,000 drugs and around 8,000 others will then expire. We are very concerned about … [Read more...] about The legal adaption measures expected from pharma groups
