Pride in Laos: WCS and Rare help communities reduce threats to National Parks in Laos
By Steve Watkins, Vice President of Rare’s Asia, Pacific, Africa and Caribbean Programs
On a recetn visit to laos, I spent a morning in Luang Prabang,
with Rare alumni Soulisak (“Sak”) Vannalath to discuss
his experiences as a Rare Pride Campaign Manager and the longer
term results since his Pride campaign’s completion in 2006.
It was growing awareness of the success of Sak’s campaign
that ultimately lead to Rare’s second campaign in Laos - the
Tiger conservation campaign at the Nam Et – Phou Louey
National Protected Area near Viengthong, lead by Campaign Manager
Santi (“Joy “) Saypanya.
