Recently, Nguyen Xuan Khieu in Bo Trach District handed over one pig-tailed macaque to the centre. The 1.5-kilo macaque was found in his garden.

Other animals include one langur and one 4.3-kilo assam macaque. These animals are being taken care of by the centre before being released.

Earlier, Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park also received a palm civet, assam macaque, pig-tailed macaque and reticulated python.

Campaigns in recent years have improved local awareness about the need to preserve the environment.
