During the January-September period, the forest rangers destroyed two illegal tents and rescued some wild animals, including those trapped.

Local authorities also detected forestry management violations and issued fines of VND35 million (USD1,458).

Service providers in Son Tra have been required to sign commitments on forest and wild animal protection.

Son Tra Peninsula is a popular tourist destination in Danang. It can receive up to 1,000 tourists a day. The locality has eight forest rangers who are responsible for managing 3,791 hectares of forest.
