Saving Vietnams largest remaining wild Asian elephant population Vietnams wild Asian elephant population has been in steep decline for decades, with a total remaining population of approximately 100 individuals divided across multiple small populations and several provinces. The largest of these populations is located in Dak Lak province, where 60-65 animals remain centered in Yok Don National Park (YDNP), an area of dry deciduous dipterocarp forest. This two-year project continues previous work in the landscape, project objectives include: 1) conduct baseline research on elephant populations to enable strategic conservation and management interventions; and 2) reduce human-elephant conflict (HEC) to minimize impacts on local communities livelihoods and avoid retaliatory killings.

Training on new penal code to improve enforcement of wildlife laws in Vietnam "The purpose of this project is two-fold: to counter wildlife trafficking in Vietnam by training enforcement officers to improve the enforcement of Vietnams revised Penal code on wildlife trafficking, thus reducing the number of animals removed from the wild and increasing risk for wildlife criminals; and to identify urgent priority needs for enforcement capacity building, which can serve as the basis of future work. This project is intended to conserve the wildlife trafficked in Vietnam, both endemic species and their products and those that are smuggled in and out of the country, by addressing the impacts of wildlife trafficking through heightened enforcement by relevant law enforcement agencies. Species affected by wildlife trafficking in Vietnam include rhinos, elephants,.pangolins, tigers, bears, leopards, turtles and other reptiles. Specific activities include: (1) implementing Vietnamese expert-led trainings to 300 wildlife enforcement officials whose posts are located in previously identified key wildlife trafficking hotspots throughout the country, which will provide basic.enforcement training as well as address changes in procedures resulting from the new Penal code; and (2) providing an opportunity to collect data on urgent priority needs of enforcement officials (such as equipment and training) that will enable them to do their work in general and in light of the new Penal code and other factors."
