Robichaud, like most saola biologists, is passionately dedicated to saving the species since his first encounter with it in 1996. The image confirmed it and with that, the mission to find and save the saola was on. In the long run, a forest that proves inhospitable for the saola will not be a very pleasant place for us either. If we can save it, we can save our forests. Although the saola proved to be elusive, anecdotal accounts by villagers held that it still survived in the remote rainforests of the rugged Annamite range.
