Hi,

I am hoping to get the following article translated into Vietnamese. I have tried using machine translators and would be willing to do the same again. However I was also told that ít can be as easy for people to translate directly from the English wording. Provisional titles have been added following helpful inputs from minhhuy here.

There are two ways to start this article:

Dân số là quan trọng / Dân số chủ đề (Tiếng Anh Population Matters) trước đây gọi là: Dân số tối ưu Trust (Tiếng Anh Optimum Population Trust)

or

Population Matters (Tiếng Việt Dân số là quan trọng / Dân số chủ đề ) trước đây gọi là: Optimum Population Trust (Tiếng Việt Dân số tối ưu Trust)

Maybe a translator can pick the version that works best :)

 

Dân số là quan trọng hoặc Dân số chủ đề (Tiếng Anh Population Matters) trước đây gọi là: Dân số tối ưu Trust (Tiếng Anh Optimum Population Trust) is a registered tổ chức từ thiện based in the UK, think tank, and nhóm lợi ích expressing "population concern" regarding the impacts of tăng dân số on long term bền vững, chất lượng cuộc sống and the môi trường tự nhiên, specifically tài nguyên thiên nhiên, biến đổi khí hậu, and đa a dạng sinh học.

Background

Population Matters conducts research on climate change, energy requirements, biodiversity, and other environmental factors in relation to population numbers. It campaigns for the stabilisation of the size of our population and its gradual decrease to sustainable levels for both the world and the United Kingdom. In 2009, the organisation published a study asserting that contraception was the cheapest way of combating climate change.

The organisation states that its intermediate aims are: improved provision of kế hoạch hóa gia đình and giáo dục giới tính, better education and rights for women, and that couples voluntarily "have two or fewer" children. In regions of high population that are reliant on nhập khẩu such as food, it advocates that levels of immigration be brought into balance with emigration.

Population Concern

A concept of "population concern" is presented as being: "fundamentally a concern about the balance between human needs and the resources available to meet those needs, now, and for the foreseeable future."

“ If the human population of the world continues to increase at its current rate, there will soon be no room for either wild life or wild places…But I believe that sooner or later man will learn to limit his overpopulation. Then he will be much more concerned with optimum rather than maximum, quality rather than quantity, and will recover the need within himself for contact with wilderness and wild nature. Sir Peter Scott – founder of the Quỹ Quốc tế Bảo vệ Thiên nhiên 1909 – 1989 ”

Campaigns and initiatives

Pledge two or fewer

The "Population Matters"' "Pledge two or fewer" initiative is a voluntary promise to have "two or fewer" children. It is "the biggest environmental decision you will ever make". Four reasons are cited for choosing to have a smaller family: "bình đẳng giới... chất lượng cuộc sống... quality of parenting... quality of childhood...

History

The Optimum Population Trust was founded in 1991 by David Willey and others. "They were impelled to act by the failure of UK governments to respond to a series of recommendations regarding population growth and sustainability." Their goals were to collect, analyse and disseminate information about the sizes of global and national populations and to link this to a study of carrying capacities and inhabitants’ quality of life in order to support policy decisions.
