Tiger poaching and illegal farming
Illegal tiger farming was a serious issue and a strong argument in Asia and there is still not a conclusion for the argument. Vietnam gained a great success in the recent raid and confiscation of 17 tigers last week in Nghe An province. The success would be a complete one if 08 of the 17 tigers didn’t die during the enforcement attempt. This will be a lesson for enforcement efforts for wildlife in the future. It will need a clear protocol and technical guidance for enforcement bodies on how to handle live animals and caring for them during and after the enforcement effort.
CCD is supporting and willing to work with other organizations to support enforcement agencies to improve the effectiveness of the combating wildlife poaching and trafficking in order to ensure that the wildlife and people involved in the effort will all be safe; and the handling of seizure will be properly reported and handled transparently!
Mr. Tra, Tran Le – Sustainable Development and Environment Policy Advisor of Center for Nature Conservation and Development (CCD) discussed the said event with Dan Viet press. Details are in the link below:
