Our new promotional video is out! Lao Youth on a Mission for Nature Conservation

We are pleased to share our promotional video about our programme Lao Youth on a Mission for Nature Conservation, implemented in collaboration with EconoxLaos. An annual programme that Association Anoulak initiated in 2024.

As our association moves towards a capacity-building-only direction, we are proud to share this programme, which we hope will encourage the new generation in Laos to pursue careers in the nature conservation sector.

Indeed, this year, 2025, our association began to shift towards a new direction — moving from directly conducting conservation work ourselves to empowering civil society to take the lead in protecting the environment. Over the years, our anti-poaching patrols and research have yielded significant results, but we recognize that lasting conservation relies on strong local leadership and stewardship. That’s why we’re now focusing on education and capacity building (such as our Lao Youth on a Mission for Nature Conservation programme and our online course on the Open Standards for the Practice of Conservation, as well as scholarships for students) to help equip Lao people with the knowledge, skills, and tools they need to drive conservation efforts themselves.
