In Vietnam, a coordinated photographic and fecal-DNA census is also being conducted for Rhinoceros sondaicus, where only seven to eight rhinos are estimated (by track/transect censuses in 1998 & 1999). This project is part of the major programme for conservation in Cat Tien National Park with funds provided by the Government of the Netherlands and administered through WWF-Vietnam Programme. The first photos from this study have been widely publicized. The DNA part of the study is also being coordinated with similar research being conducted in Ujung Kulon. ASRSG has been providing technical assistance for both formulation and implementation of the rhino conservation action plan in Vietnam.
