I. Background
Over the past years, Viet Nam has exerted tremendous efforts to complete the national legal framework for wildlife protection; especially regulations on administrative and criminal sanctions against wildlife protection violations. However, in the process of implementation, it has been revealed that there remain some gaps and loopholes in the legal framework, which leads to inconsistent application of related regulations for law enforcement and judicial agencies, particularly regarding African pangolin scales, integral parts of wildlife, wildlife’s products, …

These materials will support the relevant authorities in effectively handling wildlife-related cases.
