BTO- Chairman of the provincial
People’s committee (PPC) has recently had document to request
departments/agencies/people’s committees of districts, towns, cities to boost
management for wildlife protection, especially sea turtle in the localities.

Accordingly, the document
requires not consuming endangered, rare and precious wildlife species,
especially sea turtles (one of the most endangered precious and rare wildlife
species that shall be given priority to the highest level of protection in
Vietnam). The localities, units, individuals must strictly abide by the
regulations of the Laws on management and protection of endangered and precious
and rare wild animals.
The PPC also urged the
Department of Agriculture and Rural Development to direct the subordinate units
to beef up propaganda and set up plans for regular inspection and control the
activity of export, transport, captive breeding, preliminarily processing,
processing, advertising, trading and consumption of wildlife, especially sea
turtles’ eggs and other marine turtle products and their parts. At the same
time, the PPC directed the Hon Cau MPA management board to strengthen the
inspection and protection of marine turtles on Hon Cau Island; promptly handle
with the cases affecting the breeding activities of the turtles; create
favorable conditions for conservation organizations to participate in the
protection of sea turtles in the locality.
Local authorities in close
collaboration with the functional forces of the Agriculture and Rural
Development sector will intensify inspection and supervision of restaurants,
markets, business, households for the above-said activities so that the sea
turtles can be strictly preserved.
