Vietnam National Assembly Handbook of Conservation Policy Case Studies

Following the high-level dialogue held in July 2019, the Office of the National Assembly worked in collaboration with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and TRAFFIC in Vietnam to organize a dialogue on conservation policy case studies and their implications for Vietnam. The aim of the meeting was to create a forum for National Assembly delegates, government specialists, and international experts to share lessons learned from the conservation policies of other nations and to use these lessons as a basis for refining wildlife policy in Vietnam. The dialogue was framed within the context of COVID-19 and its transmission from wildlife to humans, which has caused governments worldwide to implement urgent regulations on the trade and consumption of wildlife.
