On Monday, Education for Nature Vietnam
 (ENV) hosted a lecture on breeding tigers for conservation efforts
 in Vietnam. According to Bui Thi Ha, ENV deputy director
, the wild tiger population in Vietnam and throughout the globe has declined considerably
 during the last 30 years. Meanwhile, individuals and enterprises in Vietnam were breeding tigers for "non-commercial" reasons
, as the number of registered captive tigers
 was expanding.
State agencies would undertake surveys and establish records
 of all tigers bred in Vietnam in the near future, she added, and a national database
 will be put up to monitor tigers held in captivity
 under the National Programme on Tiger Conservation. Ha said that it would be required to be done concurrently with
 efforts to safeguard Viet Nam's and the world's tiger conservation goals. 
With recent data suggesting that tigers may have become extinct in Vietnam, the renewed focus on tightening the management of tiger farming is great news.
