The odds of a marine turtle making it to adulthood and reproducing are around 1000 to 1. Factor in exploitation for their meat, eggs and shells and the odds lengthen even further. Today, we have launched a new fund-raising campaign to help ENV protect Vietnam’s internationally important marine turtle populations.

The central Vietnam city of Hue has outperformed any previous ENV consumer crime enforcement campaign results with a 100% reduction in violations following initial inspections of business establishments throughout the city.

Education for Nature – Vietnam’s (ENV) latest video release, Backwards in Time, takes viewers on a reverse journey to highlight to consumers exactly where bear bile originates. The innovative Public Service Announcement (PSA) video traces the path of a vial of bear bile from end-user all the way back to the bear farm and the cruel and illegal process of bear bile extraction.

Three illegal bears have been confiscated from the home of a bear trafficker in Nghe An in what was one of the toughest operations undertaken thus far by Education for Nature – Vietnam.

With farm bear numbers in Vietnam dropping steadily, Education for Nature – Vietnam has just released a film, “Better life for bears” aimed at helping speed up the process.

At the end of 2019, Education for Nature – Vietnam (ENV) will host Vietnam’s third Outstanding Achievement Awards for Wildlife Protection event in Hanoi.

The awards provide an ideal opportunity to recognize and honor those representatives of law enforcement agencies, the courts and procuracies, as well as some of the agencies they work for that have made important contributions to the protection of Vietnam’s wildlife.
