    Early morning in Southern Vietnam we head to a local market to see what native wildlife is available to purchase for consumption. This market is situated close to U Minh Thuong National Park. The park has been flooded to prevent bushfires. This has forced many of the wildlife out into the surrounding farm lands where they are being poached for food. Not only are they sold at local markets but are also part of the demanding wildlife trade in China.: by eyefornature, Views[292]
         		 Eighteen species of frogs and snakes were seen being traded. Here, a lady has been busy skinning frogs legs. These Chinese Bullfrogs (Hoplobatrachus rugulosus) are even sold alive, most likely used in soups. Unless these frogs are being commercially farmed, they will eventually decline in this area.: by eyefornature, Views[348]
         		 Many bags containing hundreds of snakes were on offer to purchase. Snakes are a delicacy in Vietnam and are seen on the menu in most local restaurants. The amount of snakes for sale could no way be sustainable and therefore this trade must be playing a huge impact on snake populations in this area.: by eyefornature, Views[318]
         		 Large three meter long King Cobras (Ophiophagus Hannah) are now very rarely seen in the wild. Many of these large specimens where captured to be placed in wine bottles and purchased to symbolise a wealth status to those who could afford it.: by eyefornature, Views[336]
         		 This brightly coloured Yellow-spotted Keelback (Xenochrophis flavipunctatus) was rescued from a kitchen at the local restaurant. After photographing this animal we released it back into a suitable area in U Minh Thuong National Park, along with a number of other species of turtles and freshwater snakes.: by eyefornature, Views[743]
     
    05-The remoteness doesn´t only preserve their culture. It´s also endangered therefore, as for Hmong women it is very difficult to find a man to marry in this scarcity of population.: by lena1982, Views[309]
         		 04-Hmong life is a hard life. Temperatures drop down to 0°C during winter - and the hilly area makes it hard to access. This is one reason why their culture was preserved for a long time - but the worldwide modernisation already started there, too.: by lena1982, Views[327]
         		 03-A school and gardens in a Hmong village. Today there´s peace but as Hmong people are proud to have their own culture, different to the vietnamese culture, they are tolerated by the vietnamese government but only to a certain point: in 2014 at least 8 Hmong were arrested as they protested for freedom of religion and belief because of a government campaign forcing the ethnic minority group to return to older funeral practices.: by lena1982, Views[374]
         		 02-Next room, her mother is cooking food with Cuas younger sister Kiab on her back. The Hmong have quite a history. In the 60ies and 70ies the CIA recruited thousands of Hmong people in the neighboring country Laos to fight against invading military forces from Northern Vietnam and the communist, known as the Secret War, during the Vietnam War and the Laotian Civil War. : by lena1982, Views[371]
