Da Nang residents hand over hawks, Java pangolins, white-bellied sandpipers, and all other wild animals to forest rangers.

On October 10, the Da Nang Mobile Forest Ranger and Forest Fire Prevention and Fighting Team said that it had handed over three rare wild animals to the Da Nang Forest Ranger Department for health monitoring.

Accordingly, the three wild animals are the Burmese kite (hawk, scientific name Spilornis cheela) weighing 1.5 kg; the Java pangolin (scientific name Manis javanica) weighing 1.2 kg; and the white-bellied sandpiper (scientific name Anthracoceros albirostris) weighing 0.5 kg.

The wild pangolin was discovered by Mr. Ngo Van Luu (residing in Hoa Khuong, Hoa Vang district) straying in his garden. Upon learning that this was an endangered, precious, rare wild animal that needed to be preserved, the man contacted the authorities to hand it over.

The Burmese kite was voluntarily handed over to the authorities by Ms. Nguyen Thi Mong Luong (residing in Hoa Tho Tay ward, Cam Le district).
