Phong Nha Ke Bang National Park receives three red-faced monkeys

On the afternoon of January 9, the Center for Rescue, Conservation and Development of Organisms - Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park (Quang Binh) said that it had just received three red-faced monkeys for care and treatment before returning them to the wild.

These three red-faced monkeys (the smallest weighing 3kg and the largest weighing 8kg) were transferred by the Bo Trach District Forest Protection Department and the Minh Hoa District Forest Protection Department in case they were injured due to being trapped by illegal hunters.

After receiving them, scientists from the Phong Nha - Ke Bang Center for Rescue, Conservation and Development of Organisms focused on caring for and treating their injuries so that the three monkeys could quickly recover before returning them to the wild, contributing to the conservation of biodiversity in Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park.

It is known that the red-faced monkey is a group 2B animal, a rare forest animal, strictly prohibited from exploitation, captivity, and commercial use.
