From April 2011 to the end of November 2011, it will disappear.

Previously, in early April 2011, on the sand dunes between Ba river, Dinh Tho village and Phu Hoa town, Phu Hoa district, thousands of strange birds appeared, attracting the attention of authorities, domestic and foreign scientists. It is determined that this species is the Cồng cồng, which appears in many mangrove forests in the Mekong Delta region. This bird is very shy, just a strange noise, or a shadow of people, they spread their wings. Functional branches and scientists have also recommended that people living on both banks along the Ba River not encroach upon, banish, harm this bird.

However, due to the negative impact of humans, this bird cannot reign.'They eat very badly, when they catch fishing nets, they use their teeth to tear and tear, so the fishermen who practice on the Ba river find ways to chase them away' - Mr. Phan Van Hy (62-year-old resident of Dinh Tho village ) said. On the other hand, due to the narrowing of the Ba river water surface, many parts of the river remain stagnant puddles.

Mr. Tran Van An, a household in TT Phu Hoa, said: 'When there are no hydropower plants located at the source, Ba River has all kinds of fish such as copy, sesame, sliced, and .

even many areas with rare species of lizards should attract many other birds such as mallards, storks, pelicans . come live. In recent years, most of the aquatic resources on the Ba River are tilapia so the birds like storks and ducks . have not come back. I am afraid that this gong bird will be the same. '

According to the people, illegal exploitation of sand and gravel in any form, factories in the watershed stealthily discharging waste, hydroelectric reservoirs compete for water . have been deforming and polluting every day. Ba river water source, making the Cồng cồng bird in particular, other birds in general no longer live.
