[wildtrade] 2014 Song Hong Half Marathon - A Race for Vietnam's Wildlife

[ENV Communication]

Dear Sir/Madam,

On December 7th 2014, Education for Nature - Vietnam (ENV) and Hanoi Red
River Runners will co-host the "Race for Vietnam's wildlife" in the 2014
Song Hong Half Marathon. The annual marathon is expected to attract hundreds
of Vietnamese and international runners in Hanoi to run for Vietnam's
wildlife. This is the second consecutive year the Race has been organized to
raise fund to help protect Vietnam's Wildlife.

 

Last year's event attracted a fantastic 357 entries across all categories,
and this year both the Red River Runners and ENV hope for even more
participants, particularly amongst Hanoi residents. 

 

Vietnam is home to many endangered species which are under serious threat as
a result of the illegal wildlife trade. Funds raised by the race will go to
support ENV's essential work in three key areas: reducing demand for
wildlife products through innovative public events and media campaigns;
engaging the public in reporting wildlife crime and strengthening law
enforcement efforts; and advocating improvements in law and policy aimed at
strengthening legal protection for wildlife.


For more information, please see the attached press release.
