    Good news, I hope they get what previous attempt didn't: long-time captive survival and, overall, calves.

    The last Saola Working Group Annual Report 2019 and 2020 STRATEGY AND ACTION PLAN FOR SAOLA CONSERVATION are published. Even though no camera trap pic and dung samples of Saola were detected, there are some positive messages, about it's presence from local informants.The Center for captive breeding of Saola will be built in Bach Ma National Park, starting (hopefuly) 2020. Breeding Centre first phase design has been presented by Julia Hanuliakova from ‘Zoo Design’ , while Radoslaw Ratajszczak and his zoo (Wroclaw) will be responsible for the administration.

    Great news, even though no live saola at base!
    Really nice national park.

    I hope for the best, but I am afraid the lack of observations, dung or other direct records means that Saola has became extinct. Which shows how quickly poaching works. Perhaps, as an immediate solution, if existence of a live Saola would be detected, the area should immediately be protected by hired anti-poaching security guards.

    A quite recent expedition saw a Saola, so they are likely not extinct just yet.

    Come again ...: That would be really big news!

    I have not yet seen any of it in the IUCN / Mongabay or FFI or other communication channels yet. Any paper or documented sources yet?
