Captive Wildlife Management Survey in Vietnam, 2015–2021
In Vietnam, breeding and raising a wide range of wildlife species in captive wildlife facilities are common practices but little information on the captive wildlife population is available. The authors of this report conducted surveys and developed software to create a captive wildlife facilities management system.
This database provides up-to-date information on the distribution of captive wildlife facilities (CWFs), the number of species, and individuals according to the level of protection outlined by the government and the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) categories. CWFs were located in all provinces and regions, but differed in distribution, number of species and individual animals. The Mekong River Delta region recorded the highest number of CWFs (35.3%) and the highest number of animals (43.1%).
