VIENTIANE (Vientiane Times/ANN): Lao Conservation Trust for Wildlife (LCTW) is improving Lao Zoo at Ban Keun village in Thoulakhom district, Vientiane province to turn it from a place focusing on entertainment into a hub for conservation and education about native fauna.

Administration Assistant at LCTW, Vuethao Vangkou updated local media last week during a workshop for journalists on wildlife crime prevention in Vientiane saying the facility is currently being revamped before relaunching to the public.
