  • An Assessment of Wildlife Use by Northern Laos Nationals
    animals Article An Assessment of Wildlife Use by Northern Laos Nationals Elizabeth Oneita Davis * and Jenny Anne Glikman San Diego Zoo Institute for Conservation Research, 15600 San Pasqual Valley Rd, Escondido, CA 92026, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 17 March 2020; Accepted: 8 April 2020; Published: 15 April 2020 Simple Summary: Although unsustainable wildlife consumption is a leading threat to biodiversity in Southeast Asia, there is still a notable lack of research around the issue, particularly into which animals may be “on the horizon” of impending conservation concern. Using semistructured interviews, we investigated the consumption of wildlife in northern Laos, with a focus on the use of wildlife for medicinal purposes. Bear bile was the most popular product, but serow bile was second in popularity and used for similar ailments. In light of these results, and considering the vulnerability of both bear and serow populations in the wild, greater concern needs to be taken to reduce demand for these products, before this demand becomes a significant conservation challenge. Abstract: Unsustainable wildlife trade is a well-publicized area of international concern in Laos. Historically rich in both ethnic and biological diversity, Laos has emerged in recent years as a nexus for cross-border trade in floral and faunal wildlife, including endangered and threatened species. However, there has been little sustained research into the scale and scope of consumption of wildlife by Laos nationals themselves. Here, we conducted 100 semistructured interviews to gain a snapshot of consumption of wildlife in northern Laos, where international and in some cases illegal wildlife trade is known to occur.

August 2013 APPLYING KNOWLEDGE CREATING RESULTS ADDING VALUE C1352 ©2013 Gruen Gruen + Associates. Do not reproduce without written permission from Gruen Gruen + Associates. INTRODUCTION The Southern Illinois Airport has been a significant economic entity in Jackson County for many years. The potential for further economic growth was realized in the 1990’s when the cities of Carbondale and Murphysboro joined with the Southern Illinois Airport Authority and the Jackson County Board to form the Jackson County Business Development Corporation, now known as Jackson Growth Alliance, to promote economic development at the Southern Illinois Airport. A major initiative of the Jackson County Business Development Corporation was to promote the development of an educational facility at the airport that would provide a permanent home for Southern Illinois University Carbondale’s Aviation Technology, Aviation Flight and Management and Automotive Technology programs. These efforts supported the work of SIU, the State of Illinois and the Southern Illinois Airport Authority that culminated in the opening of the $60 million SIU Transportation Education Center in 2012. The Transportation Education Center presents tremendous economic development opportunities at the Southern Illinois Airport.
