Recently, a group of forest protection volunteers from Ta Lu commune, Dong Giang district discovered an adult chamois caught in a hunter’s trap. Thanks to their quick actions and expertise, they were able to rescue the trapped animal.
On April 17, Mr. Le Hoang Son, Director of the Management Board of Sao La Species Conservation Area in Quang Nam confirmed the incident. The Areh village community group was on patrol in sub-area 39 of Ta Lu commune when they found the chamois, weighing approximately 40 kg and covered in black fur, struggling to free itself from the trap.
The security force group consisting of six individuals managed to control the chamois and remove the cable that was tightening around its front leg. Once freed, the chamois ran back into the forest, escaping from the danger it was in.
Chamois is an endangered species scientifically known as Capricornis milneedwardsii and is listed as a rare and precious forest animal that needs protection. Native to Southeast Asia, particularly found in countries like Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and Thailand, their population in Vietnam is decreasing due to hunting and habitat loss posing a threat to their survival.
