Dear Friends of Saola
On a recent call with several of our major supporters, Jack Tordoff, the Managing Director of a major global initiative, the Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund (www.cepf.net), expressed the view that the Saola Foundation is “the best team that’s ever been assembled for a conservation initiative in Southeast Asia”.
We are humbled by and grateful for Jack’s high praise. After all our hard work, made possible by your support, it means a lot, especially coming from someone with Jack’s long experience in the region. We have indeed come a long way since we rolled out just a few years ago.
On this occasion, we make a special appeal for your continued support to help keep our amazing team in the field, working to save Saola and the Annamite Mountains. Can you show the Saola Foundation team, and Saola, a bit of post-Valentine’s Day love, by making a donation today, here?
Your support comes at an important time, with our work on the Saola search ratcheting up in the field. And we are pleased to invite you for a live update with a key member of our field team, Ms. Vatsana Chanthavong, the Saola Foundation’s Scent Detection Dog Team Leader. Please join Vatsana for a live Zoom presentation from Laos on Saturday, February 24 (local times below). She will share an update on her groundbreaking work, in partnership with Working Dogs for Conservation, to establish Laos’s first ever Scent Detection Dog Team. Vatsana’s talk is free, but registration is required: register.
We hope to see you there! In the meantime, read more about our team and our recent progress in this article just published by environmental writer Jeremy Hance, in the online magazine Ensia, here.
with much gratitude!,
The (best) Saola Foundation team
