Description

Over the last two years, Covid restrictions have negatively influenced biodiversity conservation projects and forest protection in Central Vietnam. More specifically, the Covid-19 prevention measures have hindered the field investigation and studies at national parks and reserves, awareness-raising programs on wildlife protection for ethnic groups and local people living in buffer zones, and possibly increased logging activities and illegal hunting.
