About the Asian Turtle Program of Indo-Myanmar Conservation
The Asian Turtle Program (ATP) was established in 1998, with the aim of establishing a safe and sustainable future for Asian turtles, and ensuring that no further turtle species become extinct in the region. The ATP activities include research, conservation, community communication, training, rescue, release, and policy advocacy. Since its formation, the ATP has concentrated its efforts on Vietnam’s priority species including those which are critically endangered or endemic, and with conservation value, on a global scale. In 2015, the ATP was incorporated into Indo-Myanmar Conservation, a not-for-profit corporation registered in the United Kingdom to facilitate greater scope for the research and conservation of additional taxa.

Enhancing legislation and ensuring law enforcement for zoonotic disease in Vietnam

In Vietnam, management of wildlife diseases has garnered attention from both the State and the public. This is evident through a comprehensive system of regulations addressing diseases that can be transmitted from wildlife to humans spanning a range of documents, from laws to decrees and circulars.

Tien Hai reserve saved from development in win for nature in Vietnam

Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh signed a decision this month to fully retain Tien Hai Nature Reserve, in a rare example of environmental protection winning over development in the Southeast Asian country. Located in the northern coastal province of Thai Binh, the reserve gained attention in 2023 after the provincial government announced a plan to remove protection from almost 90% of the area. This would have reduced the reserve area from 12,500 to 1,230 hectares (nearly 31,000 to just over 3,000 acres) to open up space for a proposed residential, resort and golf course complex called the Con Vanh Ecological Urban Area.
