On June 22, the mangagement board of Bai Tu Long National Park in cooperation with the People's Committee of Van Don district, Quang Ninh province released 10 monkeys into Ba Mun forest in Van Don district.
As the animals were sufficiently healthy to return to the natural environment, the Bai Tu Long National Park is better for protection and monitoring services.
These monkeys were taken care of by the Wild Animal Rescue Centre under the management board of Lao Cai province’s Hoang Lien Son National Park until they were judged as fit to return to nature.
As the animals were sufficiently healthy to return to the natural environment, the Bai Tu Long National Park is better for protection and monitoring services.
Bai Tu Long National Park, in recent years, has received and released over 200 animals of all kinds into the natural environment. After ensuring their health status, releasing hunted or illegally captured wild animals into the natural environment also contributes to preserving the biodiversity of the park.

The park covers 15.783 ha, including 6.125 ha of island land and 9.658 ha of tidal land on Ba Mun, Tra Ngo Lon, Tra Ngo Nho, Sau Nam, Sau Dong, Dong Ma, and more than 20 other small islands.
