In Phu Tho : In fulfilling their duty to ensure security and order while simultaneously protecting the environment, the Van Ban Commune Police, Phu Tho province, recently coordinated with the Cam Khe Forest Management Unit and the Economic Department of the Commune People's Committee to inspect and confiscate 30 sets of nets and various tools used for catching wild birds from 30 households in the area.

Upon inspection, authorities discovered that residents had arbitrarily erected nets and used loudspeakers to play fake bird calls to lure and capture wild birds. This is an act strictly prohibited by law, not only depleting natural bird populations and seriously impacting biodiversity, but also causing ecological imbalance and increasing the risk of pests and diseases affecting crops, as birds are important natural predators. Notably, the use of loudspeakers playing fake bird calls day and night also creates loud noise, causing sound pollution, directly affecting people's lives, and disrupting village security and order.
