Phong Nha-Ke Bang returns 17 rescued animals to the wild
VOV.VN - Seventeen rescued wild animals, including a Ha Tinh langur and a Sunda pangolin, have been released into the wild in Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park in central Quang Tri province after being rehabilitated and cleared for release.
The animals had been rescued and cared for at the Centre for Rescue, Conservation and Creature Development before being released on October 8 by the park's Management Board in coordination with relevant agencies and local authorities.
Health checks conducted on October 5 confirmed that all 17 animals were in good condition, and were fit to return to the wild.
The released animals included seven northern pig-tailed macaques (Macaca leonina), one crested serpent eagle (Spilornis cheela), three pygmy slow lorises (Nycticebus pygmaeus), two Austen's brown hornbills (Anorrhinus austeni), two crested goshawks (Accipiter trivirgatus), one Ha Tinh langur (Trachypithecus hatinhensis) and one Sunda pangolin (Manis javanica).
Release sites were carefully selected based on each species' biological characteristics, behaviour and ability to adapt to natural conditions.
Primates were released into remote forest areas to minimise human disturbance and help them readjust to life in the wild, while the birds can move freely to suitable habitats.
According to the park's Management Board, releasing rescued wildlife helps restore wild animal populations, conserve biodiversity and maintain ecological balance.
Covering more than 123,000 hectares, Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park is one of Vietnam’s most biodiverse areas, supporting a rich variety of plant and animal life, including rare and endangered species.
