The Education for Nature Vietnam (ENV) has just released a short documentary titled “Sea turtles belong to the ocean”, its 55th media short film, in an effort to increase public’s awareness on the threats to the species, particularly illegal poaching and trafficking.

State management and law enforcement agencies, and non-governmental organisations have taken actions to limit the decline and extinction of wildlife species in Vietnam.

The Education for Nature Vietnam (ENV) on October 24 issued an annual report reviewing efforts of 62 cities and provinces in handling wildlife violations reported by the public in 2021, excluding Bac Lieu province which registered no cases.

The Education for Nature Vietnam (ENV) on January 17 organised a seminar on tiger raising for conservation efforts in Vietnam.

On the occasion of World Wildlife Day on March 3, the non-governmental organisation Education for Nature Vietnam (ENV) launched a short film called “Su lua chon sang suot” (A smart choice), to promote the use of modern medicine instead of the consumption of products from wild animals to treat ailments.
