Vientiane, Aug 10 The Lao Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry in cooperation with the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), has organised a dissemination of a manual for wildlife crime management standards for forest inspectors in 10 provinces across Laos.

A meeting to disseminate these standards was held in southern Laos' Khammuan province, the local Pasaxon newspaper reported on Saturday.
