ENV Mobile wildlife awareness team in central provinces
From March 12 to 22, the ENV Mobile Unit conducted activities to encourage the public’s involvement in wildlife protection in Da Nang, Hue and Quang Tri. The group organized wildlife protection training sessions with new volunteers and encouraged people to sign commitments to protect bears at the Da Nang University of Education, Hue University’s College of Education, Phu Xuan University and the Quang Tri College of Education. The volunteers then conducted practice surveys and monitoring, guided by ENV staff. 167 new volunteers joined ENV’s Volunteer Program and 130 places were monitored and surveyed during the practice sessions. Over 1,600 people signed pledges saying “NO” to the use of bear bile and bear products during the events.
