Diversify of Rescue
3 months old cat was safe

On 24 May, we had succeeded in rescuing a little Leopard cat from Lai Chau province. According to the police, the cat is about 3 months old and quite frightened due to losing his mother at the rescue time. They added, “when the trader sensed of danger the trader had immediately left the little cat behind and ran away”. He is doing well now and the keepers will have “an especial training” for him with the hope of releasing him back into his home.



First time of rescue Racoon cubs in Vietnam

On the 30th of May, some local people strolled around their popcorn field, then suddenly found 3 little raccoon dogs. Thanks to our outreach activities on this site, now the people know what should do next for these. They transferred the cub voluntarily to our keepers in Pu Mat national park. All raccoon cubs are under good care although they are quite nervous of see new human faces. Up to now, there is not much scientific information or deep research about this species in Vietnam. With this rescue, we hope for more studies about them.

Rescued 2 birds in Vietnamese Red List

On 23 May, 2 birds - Asian Openbill listed in the rare list of Vietnamese Red List have been rescued by our team at Pu Mat national park. These were transferred voluntarily by a local family of  Mrs. Nguyen Thi Xuan in Nghe An Province. Sadly, one died due to poor health conditions with diarrhea and did not eat much. Another one is better, she is doing well now and staying in our semi-wild area

Rehabilitation
A great time to be active and dynamic for rehab

Summer is a great time to be active and dynamic and has a big party in our semi-wild area. As you may know, pangolins are nocturnal. However, under the scorching sun, our ant-eater loves to be outside to sleep on branches during the day. At night, it will be a great time to enjoy swimming in a “special private pool”.

Release

6 otters and 3 more pangolins to be home, to be free

After about a-half of years with us, they are ready to be free. Do you remember the group otter pups we rescued in Dec 2019? At that time, most of them were so tiny and adorable and fed milk every 2 hours. Now, look at them, they are growing up and free to live their lives.

Give your hands to help the Vet team

Just couples days before the journey to the home of the otters, the forest was also welcoming 3 of its citizens – Sunda pangolins. According to the record of the researcher, these pangolins have traveled far into the forest.

Veterinary activities
Time for healing and producing news offspring

Summer is also the time for healing the wounds and producing new offspring of Masked Palm Civets. At our Cuc Phuong rescue center, a lost-front-clawed one is now able to move around to look for food by himself. And in another our rescue site, a mother had given birth to 2 new little cute babies. All of the animals are doing well, we are expecting to send them “big gifts”  of being free in the forest soon. Wish all lovely little ones with health and passing all our self-survival tests to be home soon.

Education
Sharing love for wildlife and nature after the online conservation course

After delivering the first online conservation course to students of Nguyen Khuyen High School, the first experiencers are proactive in creating their own videos from our lectures and using these videos to share with other classes in their schools. From a learning club – Act For Future (A4F)of 35 members, they have been sharing what they learned to 215 other students of five classes in the school. Besides sharing love about wildlife conservation, the club members have been creating many handmade items like scrunchies, bookmarks, and necklaces to sell at school or sell via their Facebook page. All the benefits from this selling will be used to adopt "XUYEN”, one of our educational ambassadors.

The success of the first online course brings us a really emotional hope. This school and A4F club can be a model to motivate other schools to follow them. With the support of technology, everyone can join “conservation” directly or indirectly by educating and sharing the love for wildlife and nature.

Research activities

Keeping hope for future of Sunda pangolins and otters in U Minh Thuong National Park

In the second camera-trap retrieval at U Minh Thuong National Park, 31 devices were collected while four were stolen. Preliminary analysis of the camera-trap data collected shows that the presence of Sunda Pangolins and Hairy-nosed Otters is still recorded. It was a piece of very heartening news for our team to hope of recovery the population of pangolin and the otters in there.

Site protection
10 poachers detected, 1 trap and NO gun in May

Last month was an impressive achievement of the anti-poaching team. During patrolling the whole forest with 2082 km by foot, the team arrested 5 poachers, encountered 5 people illegally logging into the forest. The number of traps was only one trap. Especially, the gun was reached to ZERO. However,  illegal camps were still quite high and stood at 17 camps used for fishing purposes. Although the result of May brings many positive signs, the team still keeps an eye on their patrols and does an investigation on new routes that poachers or hunters can go.
