According to the report, which focuses on assessingthe efficiency of handling wildlife violations reported by people in 2020, theabove-mentioned rate is 13.6 percent higher than the rate of 2019.

The rate of successful settlement of violation cases related to wildlife ingeneral and live wild animals in 2020 is equivalent to the 2019 results.

The central city of Da Nang and the southern province of Binh Duong are the twoleading localities nationwide in handling violations reported by people,rescuing 125 endangered, precious and rare wild animals. Last year, these localitieswere also among the five localities reporting the best results in this work.

Ten  localities with the highest rate ofresponse to reports of wildlife violations from people are Binh Duong, Da Nang,Ha Tinh, Nghe An, Thanh Hoa, Kien Giang, Hai Phong, Binh Phuoc, Gia Lai and HoChi Minh City.

Localities with the highestefficiency in handling violations related to live wild animal are Dak Lak, BinhDuong, Da Nang, Lam Dong and Dong Nai.

Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City are thetwo localities that have recorded the highest numbers of wildlife violationsreported by people.

HCM City’s authorities handled 99.7 percent of the total 309 violations, thereport said.

However,the efficiency of handling violations in Hanoi and HCM City still remained low.

Deputy Director of ENV Bui Thi Ha highlighted the important roleplayed by the community in the work, saying that its support effectively contributesto preventing and eliminating illegal wildlife trade and transport in thecountry.
