20th December 2023
Our 2023 holiday card features the marvelous work of the Saola Foundation’s expedition photographer, Souksamlan Laladeth, aka “Toun”. Toun photographed these beautiful amphibians and reptiles in the Saola’s range in the Annamite Mountains of Lao PDR. They are a snapshot of the diversity of life we are working the protect with Saola at the heart.
Your support to our mission is important, and deeply appreciated!
From all of us at the Saola Foundation for the Annamite Mountains Conservation, we wish you happy holidays and a prosperous and abundance New Year!
For assistance with this year’s card, we are grateful to artist Eric Losh and herpetologists Dr. Bryan Stuart, Prof. Dr. Truong Nguyen and Prof. Dr. Thomas Ziegler.
And Christmas has come early for the Saola Foundation!
We are delighted to announce and welcome the newest members of the Saola Gold Circle, an initiative that recognizes and provides exclusive benefits to our most generous donors (those who donate at least $50,000 within one year to our Saola and Annamites program). Givskud Zootopia and Odense Zoo are two wonderful, smaller yet conservation-committed zoos in central Denmark. These near- neighbors have been supporting the Saola Foundation since early on; in fact, Odense Zoo was a Founding Supporter of the Saola Foundation. And now, the two have joined forces to contribute 50,000 euros to our Saola search.
This sort of commitment and partnership are essential to help us find and save Saola. We are so very grateful to these two zoos, and in particular to their supportive directors, Richard Østerballe at Givskud Zootopia and Bjarne Klausen at Odense. Thank you, and Glædelig Jul!
