Mila's Story

Mila was fortunate to be handed over to SVW by a French conservationist working in the Central Highlands, who had received her from two foreign tourists in the area. By the time she arrived at the center, Mila was already quite sturdy and proficient at eating. As a result, her recovery process was relatively quick and positive. However, because she had been kept as a pet from a very young age, Mila lost her wild instincts and is unable to survive on her own in the wild.

Chan's Story

Chan was brought to the SVW Rescue Center when he was only 3-4 months old. To prepare Chan for his return to the wild, we trained him alongside other male otters in a semi-wild environment for 5-6 months.

Throughout the training period, we noticed that Chan's foraging ability was poorer than the others, and he frequently exhibited begging behavior toward the other individuals. While the three other male otters in the group were ready to return to the wild and split off to find mates, Chan was still unable to care for himself independently. This also delayed the recovery process for the entire group.

For this reason, we decided to keep Chan at the rescue center.
