Reported byMongabay ↗·Sourced by Goodlede

What backs it

Vietnam's antipoaching unit in Pu Mat National Park has removed tens of thousands of snares, dismantled poaching camps, and detained over 1,000 alleged violators since 2018 using SMART software, PoacherCams, and on-the-ground patrols, with rangers reporting signs of wildlife returning to heavily hunted areas.

Worth noting

Long-term success depends on sustained funding, community engagement, and continued partnerships.
