Save Vietnam’s Wildlife is a national non-profit organization dedicated to protecting plants, animals and vital natural resources of this vibrant southeast Asian nation.

As many as 10% of Vietnam’s native species are threatened by extinction.
Welcome Save Vietnam’s Wildlife Supporters
Save Vietnam’s Wildlife (SVW) is a non-governmental organization dedicated to conserving Vietnam’s myriad species and the natural habitats that they call home. At the heart of this program is a partnership with Cuc Phuong National Park dedicated to the management and operation of the Carnivore and Pangolin Conservation Program (CPCP). The CPCP has been a program of Cuc Phuong National Park, and today focuses on the rescue, rehabilitation and release of carnivores and pangolins confiscated from the illegal wildlife trade; as well as the development of a global conservation breeding program for threatened carnivores and pangolins. Pangolins are considered to be the world’s most illegally trafficked animal species. Considered a delicacy across Asia and Africa, pangolin habitats are under constant threat. Save Vietnam’s Wildlife was developed to help ensure the future of Vietnam’s incredible natural biodiversity. Threatened by habitat loss and the illegal wildlife trade the current situation is declining rapidly and we need your help to turn the tide. SVW is actively engaged in supporting the confiscation of wildlife from the illegal trade, rescuing, rehabilitating and releasing animals into suitable and secured habitats that support conservation of wild populations. Dedicated to scientific research as a basis for their conversation efforts Save Vietnam’s Wildlife is a key ally to native species in this nation. Save Vietnam’s Wildlife is also committed to offering educational programs for the general public as well as the government officials whose decisions have the potential to save or destroy the environment of Southeast Asia.
Protect One of the Most Beautiful Natural Habitats on Earth
Organized to fulfill their vision of creating: “Environmental harmony between people and nature in Vietnam where wildlife is given the opportunity to flourish”, Save Vietnam’s Wildlife is an important community based organization whose work extends far further than the jungles and wetland areas in which we operate. Around the world, conservation efforts to protect native species are extremely important to the future success of human populations of planet Earth. As a species, humans are intrinsically linked to the natural world. The extinction of even one animal or plant species threatens our survival immensely. It is extremely important that action-oriented organizations like Save Vietnam’s Wildlife are funded properly so that they can continue to do work which helps to strengthen our global community. Save Vietnam’s Wildlife fights to protect and increase populations of threatened wildlife in Vietnam by rescuing threatened animals, protecting entire populations and ensuring secured habitats. We act to identify and select the best solutions which encompass high conservation value, are scientifically based, consider human requirements and empower people to take informed action.
