On May 22, the Mobile Forest Ranger and Forest Fire Prevention and Fighting Team under the Da Nang City Forest Ranger Department received a white-bellied starling (Anthracoceros albirostris) voluntarily handed over by the people. This bird belongs to the royal family (Bucerotidae) and is listed as endangered, precious, and rare species that need protection.
The bird was discovered by Mr. Do Van Thong (29 years old, residing in Hai Chau ward, Hai Chau district) in his garden. Realizing that this is a rare bird that needs to be protected, Mr. Thong proactively contacted the authorities. The Mobile Forest Ranger and Forest Fire Prevention and Fighting Team quickly arrived to receive the bird.
Through initial inspection, the white-bellied sand crow weighed 0.4kg and was in good health, with no signs of injury. After completing the receiving procedures, the bird was transferred to the Da Nang City Forest Protection Department to carry out conservation measures according to regulations.
