On the afternoon of August 7, leaders of Dam Rong 3 Commune People's Committee said that the unit had just coordinated with the Commune Police and Dam Rong Forest Protection Department to receive a brocade python voluntarily handed over by people.
Previously, Mr. Nguyen Hoang An (resident of Phi Co village, Dam Rong 3 commune) while going to work discovered a lost brocade python.
The python individual is about 3m long, weighs about 6kg, is in normal health, and shows no signs of injury.
Realizing that this was a wild animal on the list of endangered and rare forest animals, Mr. An proactively reported to the local authorities and handed over the python individual to functional forces according to regulations.
After receiving, specialized units inspected, made verification records and carried out necessary procedures to handle and ensure the conservation and rescue of wildlife.
Bamboo pythons belong to group IIB - a group of endangered, precious and rare forest animals that are restricted from exploitation and use for commercial purposes.
People's proactive handover of rare and precious wild animals contributes to protecting biodiversity, while limiting the risk of hunting, captivating, transporting and illegally trading forest animals.
