“Theseanimals play an important role in ecological balance, creating a livingenvironment for other creatures,” said Oanh.

“Manyanimals are endangered and nature has been damaged. Thedevastating bushfires in Australia caused a significant and immediatethreat of extinction to the koala population.”

“It’stime to protect nature, protect ourselves,” she said.

Theexhibition also showcased entries to the 'Better Life for Bears' letter-writingcontest launched last year by ENV. The organising board received more than97,000 letters from 910 schools nationwide.

Theletters were sent to bear owners and used in other ENV material urging bearsfarmers to quit bear farming and give their bears a better life at rescuecentres.

Theletters to bear owners were expressed in many different ways, such as a letterfrom a daughter of a bear owner and a letter presented as a powerfulimpeachment note sent by the bear to its captors.

Apartfrom exhibiting, the organisers also collected signatures to commit toprotecting wildlife, launched an online competition to create posters,paintings and videos to fight wild animal trafficking and hosted a fair toraise money for the Action for Wildlife fund.
