Affiliation: Wildlife Conservation Society

Duty station:  Hanoi 

Application deadline: 22nd May 2013

Contract type: Full-time, 1-year renewable (Permanent contract given after 3

Background: 

The Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) is a US non profit, tax-exempt,
private organization that saves wildlife and wild places by understanding
critical issues, crafting science-based solutions, and taking conservation
actions that benefit nature and humanity. With more than a century of
experience, long-term commitments in dozens of landscapes, and presence in
more than 60 nations, WCS has amassed the biological knowledge, cultural
understanding and partnerships to ensure that vibrant, wild places and
wildlife thrive alongside local communities. Working with local communities
and organizations, that knowledge is applied to address species, habitat and
ecosystem management issues critical to improving the quality of life of
poor rural people whose livelihoods depend on the direct utilization of
natural resources.

 

WCS has been working to address wildlife trade in Vietnam for nearly a
decade by developing broad relationships with the Forest Protection
Department, CITES Management Authority, Police, Customs, the Supreme
People's Procuracy, and many other agencies and individuals. We have
established a well-respected presence in the country in the field of
wildlife trade control. We have generated a wide range of reliable data on a
number of wildlife trade issues, including commercial wildlife farming,
illegal wildlife trade dynamics in Southern and Central Vietnamese
provinces, and cross-border trade with China in Quang Ninh province. We have
trained more than 800 law enforcement officers from a range of agencies in
wildlife crime investigation and enforcement techniques, and distributed a
number of technical handbooks and guides. We have assisted central agencies
to review and propose criminal intelligence analysis systems, inter-agency
agreements, and national legislation, and have supported bi-lateral
dialogues between Vietnam, Lao PDR, Cambodia, and Indonesia.
