Explore the largest survey of wildlife in Vietnam

WWF-Vietnam recorded more than 120,000 wild animals, signaling the positive recovery of ecosystems and rare species.

The World Wildlife Fund in Vietnam (WWF-Vietnam) reported that the largest camera trap survey in Vietnam and Southeast Asia recorded about 120,000 wild animals. Among them were at least 49 mammal species and 11 pheasant species, with 9 species endemic to the Central Truong Son and 22 species threatened globally. Photo: WWF-Vietnam.

Most notable are the sightings of large-antlered muntjac, Asian black bear and large-spotted mongoose. These are the few records of these rare animals in the past two decades. Photo: WWF-Vietnam.

In particular, the occurrence rate of pangolins has increased in many areas, especially in Cat Tien National Park... all as signals showing a significant increase in species richness. Photo: WWF-Vietnam.

In particular, in 16 areas, the abundance of mammal and bird species is increasing - a positive sign for ecosystem recovery. Photo: WWF-Vietnam.

The absence of medium- and large-sized carnivores and herbivores (such as tigers, leopards, clouded leopards, Asian golden cats and saola) shows the consequences of decades of snaring. Photo: WWF-Vietnam.

The large-antlered muntjac, Muntiacus vuquangensis, has been known to scientists since 1994 and is only found in the Annamite Mountains, which border Laos and Vietnam. Photo: Leibniz-IZW, WWF-Vietnam, USAID & Song Thanh Nature Reserve.

Due to illegal hunting, the large-antlered muntjac population has been severely reduced in recent times. In 2016, the status of this species was changed from threatened to critically endangered in the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources) Red List of Threatened Species.
