The Save Vietnam’s Wildlife Centre has released 17 rare pangolins and a macaque back to the wild.

The wild animals were recently rescued by police from several illegal wild animal trafficking rings and transferred to the centre a month ago.

They've been closely monitored and taken care of over the past month before being released back into the wild at the two national parks.
