Vietnam/ Wild animals rescued and released in Tam Dao National Park

Education for Nature - Vietnam (ENV) announced that 91 wild animals were released into the forest of Tam Dao National Park at the end of September, following a successful rehabilitation period at the Hanoi Wildlife Rescue Center.

This release, carried out in cooperation with Tam Dao National Park, aims to restore animal populations, preserve biodiversity and strengthen the region's natural ecosystems.

Under decision no. 1633/QD-SNNMT, seven species were released, including the masked palm civet, the silver-eared mésia and the red-billed leiothrix, three species classified in group IIB of threatened species.

All occur naturally in the Tam Dao forests.

Each animal was given a full health check-up to ensure its chances of survival in the wild. This initiative contributes not only to the restoration of wildlife, but also to raising public awareness of the need to protect endangered species.

The Hanoi Wildlife Rescue Center stressed that close coordination between the agencies involved had enabled rapid rescue and release, thus promoting the preservation of genetic diversity and the sustainability of forest ecosystems.

Vuong Tiên Manh, deputy director of Tam Dao National Park, said the operation was part of ongoing efforts to maintain ecological balance and biodiversity.

In addition to rescue and release, the park is also stepping up patrols, surveillance and community awareness-raising, he added, adding that raising awareness among local residents was essential to put an end to the hunting, trading and consumption of wild animals.

The park is also working with its partners to extend rescue operations and support communication campaigns. Concrete measures, such as refraining from hunting, selling or consuming wild animals, are deemed essential to preserve the natural beauty of the forest and the songs of the birds.

The return of these 91 wild animals to Tam Dao is seen as a positive step forward for biodiversity conservation. Thanks to close cooperation between the authorities and public participation, these efforts should help build a more resilient ecosystem and promote harmony between man and nature.
