Wildlife protection regulations must be complied with.

Khanh Hoa is a locality with high biodiversity, including many endangered, precious and rare animal species that need to be protected. According to the recommendations of the forestry agency, violations of the management of endangered, precious and rare species; raising common wild animals and implementing the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) will be strictly handled according to the provisions of law.

Protect wildlife

Recently, Cam Lam - Cam Ranh Forest Protection Department has decided to impose an administrative fine of 1.25 million VND on Mr. NAP (in Tan Hai Residential Group, Cam Lam Commune) for violating the State's general regulations on forest protection. Specifically, Mr. P. advertised for the business of forest plants, forest animals and their products in violation of the law for species not listed in Appendix III of the Investment Law. Previously, on August 6, the Center for Nature Education informed the Cam Lam - Cam Ranh Forest Protection Department about this advertising behavior of Mr. P. The Cam Lam - Cam Ranh Forest Protection Department and Cam Lam Commune Police worked with Mr. P., thereby determining: From July 4 to 30, Mr. P. had posted 10 advertisements on social networks to sell endangered, precious, and rare wild animals in Group IIB including: Indian eagle, mountain hawk, red kite and sunbird - which are common forest animals.

A Java pangolin was released into the wild at Hon Ba Nature Reserve.

In contrast to the above-mentioned act of advertising to sell wild animals, in recent years, many people, upon discovering rare and precious wild animals, have proactively contacted the authorities and local governments to return the wild animals to their natural habitat. According to information from the Hon Ba Nature Reserve Management Board, in the first 6 months of the year, the unit coordinated with the Nha Trang - Dien Khanh Forest Protection Department and the Cam Lam - Cam Ranh Forest Protection Department to release into their natural habitat 4 animals of endangered, critically endangered, precious and rare species listed in the Vietnam Red Book 2007 and the IUCN Red Book, including: 2 small loris, 1 Java pangolin and 1 reticulated python voluntarily surrendered by the people. In addition, every year, the Hon Ba Nature Reserve also coordinates with the authorities to release dozens of wild animals into their natural habitat in the reserve.

In order to protect wildlife, in recent years, the Provincial People's Committee has issued many official dispatches directing the provincial departments, specialized agencies, local authorities and related units to strictly implement regulations on wildlife protection. In particular, the Provincial People's Committee requires agencies, units and localities to strengthen inspection, supervision and strict management of facilities raising wild animals and growing wild plants in the province; organize the implementation for facilities to sign a commitment not to buy, sell, use, consume, display or advertise specimens of wild animals that do not ensure legal origin. Along with that, strengthen inspection and handling of illegal exploitation, hunting, captivity, slaughter, transportation, storage, processing, trading, consumption, advertising, harm and use of wild animals... In addition, the Provincial People's Committee also directed functional agencies to resolutely implement solutions to prevent violations in wildlife protection, including wild birds and migratory birds.

Must comply with the law

According to Mr. Hoang Trung Si - Head of Cam Lam - Cam Ranh Forest Protection Department, from July 1, Circular No. 27/2025 of the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment regulating the management of endangered, precious and rare species; raising common forest animals and implementing the CITES Convention will take effect. Therefore, people need to proactively learn about the provisions of the law before raising and trading in forest animals, especially endangered, precious and rare species. People can contact the local forest protection agency for specific instructions on registration procedures for raising in accordance with regulations. Violations of the management of endangered, precious and rare species; raising common forest animals and implementing the CITES Convention will all be strictly handled in accordance with the provisions of the law.
