Releasing rare wildlife individuals back into the wild

The Dak Lak Elephant Conservation, Animal Rescue, and Forest Protection Center, in coordination with Chu Yang Sin National Park, recently released several endangered wildlife species back into their natural habitat. The individuals returned to the forest in this batch included one Sunda pangolin, one cobra, and four pig-tailed macaques. At the time of handover, all individuals were in good health, showing signs of rapid adaptation and meeting all criteria for normal growth in the wild.

Mr. Le Quoc Dung, in charge of the Center’s Wildlife Rescue Department, stated that before returning to nature, these animals underwent a rigorous care and treatment process. Upon reception, specialized staff conducted pathological treatment, monitored recovery, and performed general health screenings. Only when the animals were fully healthy and assessed as capable of self-survival did the unit proceed with the regulated release procedures.

Through this activity, the Center aims to spread a message about protecting and respecting wildlife's original life values. Over the years, the unit has successfully rescued numerous rare species, such as Sunda pangolins, various turtles, and monitor lizards, making a significant contribution to local biodiversity conservation efforts.
