After checking its health status, the crane was transferred to Saigon Zoo and Botanical Garden to be quarantined according to regulations on wildlife quarantine, then transported to Tram Chim National Park for continued care and conservation work.

The program is part of a project to restore and develop the red-crowned crane flock in Tram Chim National Park by raising and releasing them back into the wild.

The transfer and receipt of six red-crowned cranes from Thailand to Vietnam is the first important milestone in the cooperation program between Vietnam and Thailand on red-crowned crane conservation.
