Rare animals in Truong Son range call for help

Climate change (CC) has existed in the Truong Son range - a huge lung of Vietnam. Therefore, the climate change and ecological environment here are at risk of destroying, repelling rare animals.

According to Prof. Dang Huy Huynh, Chairman of Vietnam Zoology Association, the ability to mitigate and adapt to climate change for wildlife species in general and threatened mammals in particular depends entirely on the Natural environment conditions: residence, food sources, water sources . and human civilization. Therefore, the Government, ministries, branches and localities should pay attention to solutions and investment policies on financial and human resources to review, consolidate and plan the expansion of the system of protected areas. nature and national park (National Park) on Truong Son range.

In particular, the issue of land use planning in the Central Highlands before the rapid development of rubber plantation areas, as well as the construction of existing hydropower projects in the Central Highlands. Studying scientific basis for planning some green corridors on Truong Son mountain range to protect habitats for wild animals and mammals threatened with impacts of climate change ( corridors preserve large mammals: elephants, Indochinese tigers, wild animals, primates .).

Another solution proposed by the scientists is to integrate the planning of afforestation with the poverty reduction program on the Truong Son range, by creating and propagating plants and animals suitable to the wet forest ecosystem, dry forest, thin forest to prevent when a disaster occurs. Building monitoring points for endangered mammals at some Pu Mat National Park (Nghe An), Dak Krong - Bac Huong Hoa (Quang Tri), Chu Mom Ray (Kon Tum), Yok Don (Dak Lak), Sand Loc (Lam Dong) aims to serve as a plan to manage threatened species to cope with climate change.

The Truong Son Range is considered as a strong wall for the conservation of biodiversity resources, including rare and endangered species, hidden under the green of Truong Son Mountain in the gas context. post change. When the temperature of the earth is getting hotter with sea level rise of 1-2m, it is the people and animals, animals that live in lowland areas, must also move to Truong Son mountain range to survive and distribute. development.
