Conservation Technology Support Program: GIS Experiences from Prior Recipients

Asian Bureau for Conservation (ABC) works to preserve biodiversity throughout the asian region. ABC is dedicated to providing experience, knowledge, and inspiration to involve people in resolving threats to these ecosystems.

Viet Nam still harbors some valuable and unique areas of high biodiversity with considerable global significance. Vietnamese scientists and officials have shown a long and rather surprising concern for these biological resources. Far-sighted policies and regulations have been adopted in an effort to preserve these resources. However, international agencies have only provided a low, and slow, level of assistance.
