Survey on consumption of wild animal product in HCMC
From August 2010 to April 2011, WAR has conducted a survey on consumption of wild animal product in several districts of Ho Chi Minh city. The report can be downloaded here.
Fresh water fish survey
WAR is conducting freshwater fish surveys in several locations within Viet Nam such as Phu Quoc island, U Minh Thuong National Park and Vinh Cuu Nature Reserve. The main focus of freshwater fishes survey is on Phu Quoc island. There are very few information about feshwater fish fauna on this island. So far WAR biologists have recorded more than 100 species of freshwater and brackish water species from Phu Quoc, of which more than 10 species are new for Viet Nam and probably few new species for science. There are also novel discoveries in other locations. The study is still going on and hopefully results will be available to the public soon.
Discovering the beauty of a jewelled isle
The Island of Phu Quoc is the largest island of Vietnam and it still contains a valuable and relatively undisturbed wildlife habitat. . It is located in the Gulf of Thailand and is a part of the Kien Giang Province. It has a rainy season from May to late November and is rapidly becoming a target for foreign tourists, which means that conserving its wildlife is becoming an increasing challenge. WAR staff, led by the Phu Quoc Project Manager and WAR CEO, Nguyen Vu Khoi, has been working on the Island since 2006.
