ZIMS and the Future of Wildlife Conservation: How Laos Rescue and Rehabilitation Center is Leading the Way
Deep in the forests of Laos, the Lao Conservation Trust for Wildlife (LCTW) is pioneering a new model for wildlife rescue and rehabilitation. Once a small, family-run zoo, LCTW has evolved into a leading conservation center committed to saving animals from the illegal wildlife trade. Central to their success is the use of Species360’s Zoological Information Management System (ZIMS), which enables the team to track each animal’s journey—from intake and treatment to recovery and release. By integrating health and behavioral data with post-release outcomes, LCTW is not only improving individual animal welfare but also shaping stronger conservation strategies across Southeast Asia.
