It has been 7 years since the foundation of SVW, things have change quite a lot since 2014. The SVW is now a bigger place with many conservationists working side by side to protect Vietnamese precious wildlife. At the beginning, all we had with the rescue center. That changed very quickly. Now we have accomplished a lot in many different aspects of conservations. To learn about what we have been through and what we have accomplished, this video is a place to start.

Videos of our rescue and releasing wildlife over time... WHY WILDLIFE RESCUE? In Vietnam each year, thousands of animals are illegally traded for meat consumption, traditional medicine, pets and souvenirs. Live animals that are being illegally trafficked are often dehydrated, nutritionally-stressed, carrying diseases, and have injuries from when they were hunted. Poachers and traffickers will often force feed pangolins to increase their weights before selling them. Government agencies in Vietnam will often release trade-confiscated wildlife straight back into the forest. These animals are released without any health checks or quarantine. Animals are often released outside of where the species is naturally found. These are threats to wild populations. Our rescue work directly targets these threats to wild populations. We use the media coverage of rescues and releases, to help educate the public, and raise awareness on the impacts of the illegal wildlife trade. Most importantly, we use these rescues to encourage and motivate the government to continue combating the illegal trade. Read more: https://www.svw.vn/wildlife-rescue/
PANGOLINS ARE AMAZING! Pangolins are the only mammals in the world covered in scales. Pangolin are active and feed at night. They have the ability to curl up into a ball to protect themselves from large predators. This animal has no teeth, but uses a long and sticky tongue to eat ants and termites – their favorite food in the wild. Pangolins can consume up to 200,000 ants per day! Mother pangolins breast feed and keep their young close. Mother pangolins carry pups safely on their tails when they venture out at night to hunt for ants and termites.
