Read the passage below and decide whether the statements are TRUE or FALSE?

An initiative by the Ministry of the Environment (MMA) will allocate about 13 million dollars to a project to minimize impacts on biodiversity. The National Strategy for the Conservation of Threatened Species (GEF-Pró-Espécies Project) was launched on Tuesday (May 22), International Biodiversity Day, and is designed to mitigate threats and strengthen the conservation status of species.

With funding from the Global Environment Facility Trust Fund (GEF), the project will cover at least 12 key areas in 13 states (MA, BA, PA, AM, TO, GO, SC, PR, RS, MG, SP, RJ, and ES), in a total area of 9 million hectares. Measures to protect all threatened species in Brazil are expected to be implemented by 2022.

The project was funded by the Global Environment Facility Trust Fund.

Alligators have always been the most dangerous predators of the Florida Everglades, but their long-held position is now being challenged by a growing population of Burmese pythons.

The Burmese python, a giant snake measuring up to 20 feet long and weighing up to 200 pounds, is very popular among exotic pet owners. However, as the dead snakes grow, they become more difficult to cage and handle. To avoid dealing with the snakes, the owners irresponsibly release them into the wild. Since the Everglades is quietly similar to the python's native environment of Southeast Asia, they survive and prosper without difficulty.

The issue with the Burmese pythons is their choice of meals. They eat alligators and endangered birds, which creates strain on an already fragile ecosystem. Recently a 13-foot long Burmese python was found with a 5-foot alligator bursting from its stomach. The python died tried to eat the alligator but a larger one would have easily won the struggle. With over 30,000 Burmese pythons now living over the Everglades, a solution to stop this invasive species is necessary. If the pythons are left unchecked, there is a strong possibility they will wipe out a variety of species needed for the functioning of the Everglades ecosystem.
