HCMC: Release 43 precious animals to the forest

43 individual turtles and unicorns were released to the natural environment by HCMC Wildlife Rescue Station on November 16. These rare and precious wild animals include: Golden mountain turtles, Black-backed box turtles, Big earth turtles, Big neck turtles, Nebula period

The location is chosen to drop in Lo Go National Park in Sa Mat, Tay Ninh, where there is a green forest ecosystem on low land; consistent with the habit of living and ecological needs of these wildlife.

These 43 wild animals were confiscated by the HCMC Forest Protection Department from illegal wildlife traders. They were rescued by WAR wildlife protection for more than 6 months to restore health, survival and development in nature.

During this time, they are treated for pathogens that may arise during illegal transportation, trafficking, and avoid spreading to populations of organisms when returning to nature.

This is one of the activities aimed at protecting natural animals of Ho Chi Minh City Wildlife Rescue Station.
