The Lao Conservation Trust for Wildlife has a branch in the United States!
Our U.S. branch plays a critical role in Lao conservation through:
Education
- Help educate the public about the plight of Lao wildlife, the illegal wildlife trade with a goal to elicit a positive behavior change
- Educate students and organizations in the U.S. about Lao species and the role the illegal wildlife trade plays in their risk of extinction
- Provide support for education projects such as immersive and educational animal habitats for non-releasable wildlife at our Lao branch
Animal rescue, rehabilitation and release
- Provide support and database maintenance for the running of the Lao wildlife rescue hotline
- Support rescue, rehabilitation and release efforts of Lao native wildlife from the illegal wildlife trade
- Purchase critical animal rescue, banding and medical equipment in the U.S. that is difficult to find in Laos
- Partner with international and local wildlife conservation organizations to help protect Lao wildlife
