Conservation Program and the Turtle Conservation and Ecology Project. The Turtle Conservation and Ecology Project , focusing on tortoises and freshwater turtles confiscated from the trade, was initiated in 1998. Since then it has developed steadily, and in the summer of 1999, with official endorsement from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, the Turtle Project was formally integrated into the larger Cuc Phuong Conservation Project, making it the first official tortoise and freshwater turtle conservation program in Vietnam. For more details about the scope, goals, and activities of this important conservation effort, see the newsletters and reports below. The Conservation Awareness Program has helped raise conservation awareness among 15,300 children living in the vicinty of Cuc Phuong National Park, and Vu Thi Quyen's work has produced pioneers in community-based environmental education.
