HÀ NỘI — The Save Việt Nam's Wildlife (SVW) on Wednesday said it has cooperated with the Cúc Phương and Cát Tiên national parks, and the Hà Nội Wildlife Rescue centre to release 21 rescued rare animals back to the wild.

The animals include 11 Java pangolins, also known as the Malaysian or Sunda pangolin, three Asian small-clawed otters, four pig-tailed macaques (Macaca leonine), two long-tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis), and one brahminy kite.

The animals are all on the list of endangered, precious, and rare animal species in Decree No. 84/2021/NĐ-CP of the Government on the management of endangered forest plants and animals and the implementation of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora.

Since its establishment, the centre has successfully rescued 4,280 wild animals, of which 1,709 are pangolins. — VNS
