Vietnam’s central Quang Binh province launched a communication campaign to call for wildlife conservation efforts on April 13, in response to the World Wildlife Day and the National Biodiversity Restoration Year 2024, local media reported.
The campaign, within the framework of the Sustainable Forest Management and Biodiversity Conservation Project (VFBC) funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), aims to raise public awareness about wildlife conservation and reduce demand for wildlife products.
Quang Binh boasts a relatively high level of biodiversity, with many typical forest and marine ecosystems, rich genetic resources of rare forest animals and plants, as well as rare wild fauna and flora species. However, wild animals are facing numerous threats, such as climate change, environmental pollution, diseases, hunting and overexploitation.
