Successful rescue of trapped mountain goat in Nghe An

According to information from the Tuong Duong Protective Forest Management Board, at around 1:00 p.m. on October 11, 2024, during a routine patrol and forest protection, the forest protection force discovered a mountain goat trapped in a trap right in the forest of Sub-area 697, Tam Hop commune. This is a protective forest area with a diverse ecosystem, and is also a place where there is often a risk of illegal hunting and capture.

After assessing the wound the goat had sustained, the team members immediately removed the trap carefully to avoid causing further damage to the goat. After removing the trap, to ensure the animal did not get infected, the team members quickly used medical alcohol to disinfect the wound. The goat was then released back into the wild.

The mountain goat is a rare animal, listed as needing protection, and timely detection helped the animal avoid the risk of serious injury or being captured by poachers.

The successful rescue of the trapped antelope shows that, despite increased propaganda prohibiting the capture and consumption of wild animal meat, illegal hunting and capture still occurs. This requires the forest rangers, in addition to preserving and protecting forest resources, to regularly rescue wild animals, contributing to the conservation of biodiversity in the area and the protection of a sustainable ecological environment.
