Education for Nature - Vietnam
Education for Nature – Vietnam (ENV) is Vietnam's first local non-governmental organization to focus on wildlife protection. Founded in 2000, ENV’s mission is to foster greater understanding amongst the Vietnamese public about the need to protect nature and wildlife. ENV works with government partners to strengthen policy and legislation, supports enforcement efforts to stop the illegal wildlife trade, and addresses consumer demand through public awareness campaigns. ENV has offices in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
==Wildlife trade in Vietnam==
Vietnam is a key stopover for wildlife goods in transit to China, a major hub for the global illegal wildlife trade. China’s economic growth during the 1990s resulted in an expanded middle class, with larger disposable incomes, which in turn created a surge in demand for the products of wildlife trade.〔http://www.chathamhouse.org/sites/files/chathamhouse/public/Research/Africa/0214Wildlife.pdf〕 Similarly in Vietnam, a growing middle class has led to increased consumer demand, making the country a major destination for illegal wildlife trade products, including rhino horn and tiger bone paste. Two species of pangolin, estimated to be the most trafficked mammal in the world, are native to Vietnamese forests; thousands are caught and traded between China and Vietnam every year. Pangolin scales are used in traditional medicine, and the meat is served in restaurants as a high-end delicacy.〔 Rhinos are also threatened with extinction as a result of wildlife trade: in 2007, 13 were killed for their horns. By 2014, the number had ballooned; 1215 rhinos were poached and killed in South Africa in just one year.
