Achieve zero threats to saola (Pseudoryx nghetinhensis) in critical forest compartments within the Thua Thien Hue and Quang Nam saola reserves of Vietnam by removing saola snares through effective and accountable law enforcement implemented by trained and motivated forest guards, and supported by an effective intelligence network. Initiate long-term funding for these conservation efforts through payment for ecosystem services, corporate partnerships and donations from high-net-worth individuals in Vietnam.

Strategic Direction: 1 Safeguard priority globally threatened species by mitigating major threats
