The real stories of a war-zone are always hidden in the hearts of the soldiers fighting the war. While some stories still makes their way out, the story of wildlife in a war-zone is never told. Presenting 'Wild Vietnam' which attempts to tell the story of the Vietnam war from the perspective of wildlife.
Vietnam is a jewel of South-East Asia, a country known for its breathtaking landscapes and natural beauty. In a quest to understand the wildlife and dynamics of conservation in Vietnam a team of two Wildlife Biologists from India : Amit Goswamy & Chetan Rao went to explore the national parks and conservation centres of Vietnam.
The vlog portrays a larger picture of environment conservation connecting the dots of historical inclinations and the impact of the war on the ecology and wildlife of Vietnam.

Episode 2 | Island Ecosystems
We will be exploring Hay Long Bay - a group of about 2000 islands that forms a geological wonder which has been carved for millions of years. The beauty and uniqueness of the place has allowed it to be declared as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We explored the islands for the signs of wildlife and geological features.
In this episode we also explored the island ecosystems of Vietnam through Cat Ba island and Cat Ba national Park. Endemism is inherent in an island system due to the isolation that limits the movement of various species between the island and the mainland. This restricted movement also limits the genetic diversity of the species living in the islands in comparison to the mainland. This makes the species living in the islands relatively vulnerable and more prone to extinction.
The beautiful Karst ecosystems of Vietnam and limestone islands also features numerous cave systems that can be explored through Kayaks, in this episode we will take you up close to these geological formations and kayak around these islands understanding the ecosystem in a more personal way.
Also we will share the story of Cat Ba Langur, which is one of the rarest primates in Vietnam with a population of less than 100 individuals. A species found only in the Cat Ba island and is recovering from the brink of extinction by with the constant efforts of the conservationists in Vietnam.
