The move followed calls by local authorities to improve awareness about the need to protect wild animals.

The animals will be released back into the wild.

In March this year, fifty-six animals were also released into Vu Quang National Park, mostly pig-tailed monkeys and big-headed turtles.

The monkeys are listed as rare and endangered animals that need to be preserved.
