In the same situation as many of the animals we have rescued, Hoi An is the 2nd Binturong Education Ambassador at the center. 

Hội An arrived at the CPCP in December, 2010. She had been kept in a local private zoo for a long time in Quang Nam. Quang Nam Forest Protection Department and SVW rescued and brought her here. 

Being fed an unbalanced diet of rice, she was quite overweight at 25kg. To help the weight and improve her health, her starch intake was reduced and the daily diet was changed to meat, fruits, a binturong’s natural food.

Hoi An has returned to good health and enjoys sunbathing on the bamboo platform in her enclosure. Unfortunately, after many efforts to restore wild instincts she is still overly familiar with humans, so can’t be released back into the wild anymore. 

However, not all animals are lucky enough, like Hoi An, to be transferred to our center. Many of them are victims of the animal circus, being chained and locked in cramped cages, abused with a whip, trained to perform difficult tricks to entertain humans. Therefore, please do not watch or support Circus activities from wild animals.
