On August 17, Chu Yang Sin National Park (Dak Lak province) said that in the past, the unit had repeatedly recorded images of white-legged chickens in the area under management.
Accordingly, from 2022 to 2024, Chu Yang Sin National Park has coordinated with the Southern Institute of Biology and the Institute of Life Sciences (under the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology) to set camera traps to record animal species to serve research and conservation work.
Researchers have placed 88 camera traps, of which 17 recorded images of white storks (a total of 41 times) in the garden campus.
According to Chu Yang Sin National Park, this is a positive signal, confirming that this precious bird population is still stable in the garden. At the same time, this is also a testament to the efforts to preserve biodiversity in this special-use forest.
However, to get the above photos, the camera traps had to be placed for about 2 to 4 months to collect the data.
To protect white-throated chickens and other rare animals, Chu Yang Sin National Park believes that people need to raise awareness, not hunt, not catch traps, not buy and sell rare wild animals or products originating from wild animals.
In addition, people need to participate in environmental protection activities, not affecting the habitat of animal species. If violations are detected, it is necessary to quickly report to the authorities for timely handling measures.
Chu Yang Sin National Park has a natural area of over 59,000 hectares. This place has a very rich and diverse wildlife and plant system, with many endemic and rare species.
