This month, over 60 participants from 15 countries and territories and 30 organizations working to protect wildlife in Asia gathered in Luang Prabang, Laos, for the Wildlife Animal Network Asia Conference 2024, hosted by Free the Bears. The theme of this conference was Successful Partnerships Leading To Positive Outcomes For Wildlife. This annual conference is a great opportunity to connect and network with fellow wildlife protectors in the region.
Participants in the WARN ASIA Conference 2024 held in Luang Prabang in October 2024.
During the five-day conference, we heard great presentations on partnerships, rewilding, and capacity building. We had the opportunity to meet new people and reconnect with regional colleagues.
The conference theme was also a perfect occasion for us to present our Lao Youth on a Mission for Nature Conservation program, which we co-implemented this year for the first time with our partner EconoxLaos.
We are pleased to share our presentation below:

The Wildlife Animal Rescue Network Asia (WARN ASIA) is a network of wild animal rescue centers, wildlife law enforcement groups, and officials and animal protection groups in East and Southeast Asia. It brings together the community to strengthen our ties, exchange knowledge, information, and ideas, and tackle local and national problems on a regional level.
