The People's Council of Quang Binh province has just passed a resolution on budget spending, including 4.5 billion VND to build a fence to protect the evidence of the case, which is 7 Indochinese tigers.
Specifically, the budget allocates 4.5 billion VND to the Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park Management Board to invest in fences and auxiliary items for the rescue area for tigers received from Pu Mat National Park, to ensure living conditions for the growing tigers.
This amount is allocated by the resolution on the state budget revenue estimate in the area, local budget expenditure and local budget allocation plan for 2025.

According to experts, adult tigers need space to move close to the natural environment, so it is necessary to complete the infrastructure to create a safe isolation area, convenient for raising and caring for wild animals, as well as expanding research and tourism activities.
To do this, it is necessary to build an expanded breeding area adjacent to the 3 existing tiger breeding areas, including 6 separate cages separated by steel fences and other auxiliary items.
Over the past 2 years, the Center for Rescue, Conservation and Development of Creatures in Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park has cared for and raised 7 Indochinese tigers. These tigers were rescued in August 2021 from a criminal case carried out by Nghe An Provincial Police.
When brought to Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park for raising and protection, the unit developed a suitable care plan, both helping the tiger develop well and ensuring closeness to the tiger's natural habitat.
Of these 7 tigers, there are 2 males and 5 females. Each year, the cost of food for the 7 tigers is more than 1 billion VND. The daily diet consists of 2 meals of chicken and beef. After more than 2 years of raising, the 7 Indochinese tigers have grown up, the largest weighs about 160kg, is over 1.5m long, the remaining tigers weigh 120kg.
According to the Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park Management Board, the tigers are currently too large and need to build a higher and more solid fence around the semi-wild area to prevent the tigers from breaking into the cages and running into the forest.
