Painting contest on action for wildlife animals launched

On November 24th, the Education for Nature Vietnam (ENV) launched a painting contest on action for wildlife animals to improve awareness of the community and encourage the community to directly participate in wildlife animal protection.

According to EVN, situated in the tropical region, Vietnam is well known as one of the countries that have a specific biodiversity. It is the home to many rare wildlife animals. However, in recent years, several species of wildlife animals in Vietnam have become classified as endangered and close to extinction due to the increasing consumption demand for the dead animals by-products.

The situation can be completely reversed if the community joined hands to stop the demand, causing the death of the animals.
