Forest Protection in Pu Mat National Park, Vietnam

Project goals 

The capacity of authorities to manage the park effectively is limited, leading to threats from hunting and unsustainable livelihood practices. These threats are exacerbated by several roads that were recently built into the park for national security and border patrols. The roads fragment the habitat and make it easier for people to carry out illegal and unsustainable activities. We aim to strengthen the park’s effectiveness and sustainability, providing more robust monitoring and focusing international and domestic attention on gibbon conservation.
