Three rare hawk specimens released back into the wild

On August 9, Mr. Le Hoai Vu, Head of Forest Protection Unit Region XIV (Quang Ngai Province), reported that the unit had coordinated with the Ba Xa Commune authorities to release three rare hawks back into the natural forest after they were handed over by local residents.

Earlier, on August 5, residents of Mang Kra Hamlet, Ba Xa Commune, discovered three wild hawks trapped in a fence net at the home of Mr. H.V.Q. Upon receiving the report, the commune police and regional forest rangers arrived at the scene, providing information and persuading Mr. Q. to voluntarily hand over the hawks.

According to confirmation from relevant agencies, the three hawks belong to the species Milvus migrans, listed in Group IIB of rare and endangered forest wildlife that require strict protection. After completing the necessary procedures, the authorities released the birds into the natural forest at Plot 3, Subzone 441 (Ba Xa Commune), an area managed by the Ha Thach Nham Protection Forest Management Board.

The timely rescue and return of the hawks to the wild have made an important contribution to biodiversity conservation in the locality.
