SVW Hiring: Mobile Nature Center Operations Coordinator
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
The "Mobile Nature Center" is the first mobile nature conservation education model in Vietnam. The program utilizes three specially designed buses, integrating virtual reality (VR/AR) technology and interactive exhibition spaces to bring vivid experiences of nature and wildlife closer to the community.
The project is led by SVW in collaboration with the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, and Viet Vision Advertising & Entertainment. Through hands-on and visual interactive activities, the program helps visitors raise awareness about nature conservation and better understand the negative impacts of illegal wildlife product consumption, thereby fostering positive changes in attitudes and behaviors.
The center aims to spread the message: "End illegal wildlife consumption – Let the forests speak again!" You will be the one directly operating the "mobile heart" of this campaign—the person behind every experience that touches thousands of hearts each day.
