From 08^th to 12^th of May 2014, Wildlife At Risk (WAR) in co-operation with Vietnam National Museum of Nature have carried out a survey on biodiversity in forest region of Hieu commune, Konplong district, Kontum province.

In terms of botany, preliminarily we have recorded 106 species, of which belong to 90 genera and 58 families. According to Red Book and Red List of Vietnam, there is one endangered (EN) and one vulnerable (VU) species. There are also two species of group IA (Government’ Decree 32/2006).

The presentstudy identifies what appears to be one of the largest marine reptile exploitation efforts on Earth centered aroundsea snakes. Specifically, our objectives were to establish the geographical location, temporal distribution, species composition, harvested biomass, and socio-economic aspects of present-day sea snake exploitation from the Gulf of Thailand via southern Vietnam.
