On the morning of May 22, Ms. Nguyen Thi Thuy Dung (residing in Loc Dien commune, Phu Loc district, Hue city) discovered a golden mountain turtle ( scientific name Indotestudo elongata) weighing about 1kg on her way to work.

The Golden Mountain Tortoise is listed as a rare and endangered species in Group IIB, and is in the Critically Endangered (CR) group of the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) and should be prioritized for protection and banned from hunting and trading. Therefore, Ms. Dung called the Phu Loc District Forest Protection Department to hand over this rare animal.

Because he had been previously informed and knew that this was a rare wild animal that was prohibited from hunting and trading, Mr. Thanh voluntarily handed over this animal to the Phong Dien town Forest Protection Department.
