Update news bird preservation
With its wetlands under threat, Tram Chim National Park will soon welcome red-crowned cranes from Thailand as part of a long-term conservation effort by Dong Thap Province.
The Mekong Delta province of Dong Thap on December 12 launched a project to preserve and develop red-headed crane (scientifically known as Grus antigone sharpie) population in Tram Chim National Park.
Authorities of Hanoi’s Quoc Oai District have removed a temporary market by Thang Long Avenue that specialised in selling wild birds.
Dong Thap has approved a project to conserve red-crowned cranes in the Tram Chim National Park in the 2022 – 2032 period with an estimated total budget of over 184 billion VND (nearly 7.6 million USD).
Tram Chim National Park in the Mekong Delta province of Dong Thap has been a habitat for red-crowned cranes, an endangered bird species listed in the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN)’s Red List of Threatened Species.
