The selected species for the campaign reflect the great biodiversity of Vietnam. Many of them are micro-endemic and face extinction. They also belong to the variety of species EAZA Member institutions are caring for. They are good examples to show the joint efforts between ex situ-conservation in zoos and aquaria and in situ-conservation in Vietnam.
