On February 7, Phu Loc Forest Protection Department (Hue City) announced that it had just handed over a 4kg Java pangolin to the Center for Rescue, Conservation and Development of Organisms (Cuc Phuong National Park) for rescue and release into the wild.
Previously, while passing through the Tuan bridge area (Long Ho ward, Phu Xuan district, Hue city), Mr. Nguyen Van Quy (residing in Phu Loc district) discovered an injured Java pangolin on the side of the road. Realizing that this was a rare wild animal, he seized it and contacted the authorities to hand it over.
This is the second animal in 2025 that has been handed over by people. From 2022 to 2024, 232 wild animals were handed over, including 212 endangered, precious, and rare species and 20 common species. All were released back into the wild after completing the procedures.
