Cuc Phuong National Park rescues large number of wild animals

A representative of the park said on January 10 that, immediately after receiving the rescue notice, it sent a working group of the Centre for Rescue, Conservation and Development of Creatures to Da Nang and Quang Tri to rescue and receive the wild animals, including 115 turtles of six species, one masked palm civet, two Chinese Water Dragons and four Java pangolins. All the animals are rare and endangered species listed in groups IB and IIB under Decree 84/2021/ND-CP.

Trinh Van Nguyen, head of the Rescue Team under the Centre for Rescue, Conservation and Development of Creatures, said that this is the largest number of turtles the park has rescued since 2021. All animals rescued this time are in a stable health condition, without injuries.

The animals have been brought to the centre for care and behaviour correction and will be released to the wild as soon as possible, he added.
