A Ha Tinh resident bought two wild animals and handed them over to Vu Quang National Park.

Ms. Tran Thi Nga (in Dong Mon commune, Ha Tinh city) has just handed over to Vu Quang National Park two wild animals, including a rare golden monkey and an owl, to continue monitoring and caring for them before releasing them back into the natural environment.

Ms. Tran Thi Nga said: "While on a business trip to Ky Anh district (Ha Tinh), I happened to see a local selling an injured monkey. Seeing that, I bought the monkey to raise, care for, and treat it."

After investigating, Ms. Nga realized that this was a golden monkey weighing about 1kg, with the scientific name Macacca mulatta, belonging to group IIB, the list of endangered, precious, and rare wild animals. Therefore, Ms. Nga contacted Vu Quang National Park to hand it over to the authorities to release it back into the natural environment.
