Huong is embarking on the adventure at the invitation of the Centre of Hands-on Action and Networking for Growth and Environment (CHANGE) and WildAid, two US environmental organizations.

Her partnership comes in the wake of a poaching crisis across Africa that is wreaking havoc on creatures great and small, from elephants and rhinos to pangolins and African Gray Parrots

Huong says she is proud to be associated with this initiative and pleased to support the commitment to help end this scourge

The threat facing wildlife is serious, she says, especially in Africa, where cases of wildlife poaching are rampant, largely driven by the demand for ivory and rhino horn

We all have a responsibility to support the conservation of wildlife and it is imperative that that everyone gets more involved in stopping the vice
