WildAct Vietnam
Mission statement
Our mission: is to inspire, motivate and empower society and individuals to engage in the science-based conservation of threatened species and ecosystem
About us: We are a local conservation not-for profit organisation based in Vietnam, established in 2015. There is a lack of capacity in conservation in Vietnam, and increasing this capacity has been identified as key to conserving natural resources. Meanwhile, mid-level and senior positions within wildlife conservation organizations in Vietnam are routinely occupied by male expatriates, reflecting Vietnam’s sub-optimal capacity in both providing suitably qualified and experienced candidates, and in offering career opportunities for young and female Vietnamese conservation leaders. Understanding the needs to develop a capacity building program within Vietnam to improve the country’s performance with regards to biodiversity conservation, our work aims to empower society and individuals, especially women and young people to conserve at-risk ecosystem.
