Previously, authorities discovered that two trees in plot 6, sub-area 76, within the special-use forest managed and protected by the Kon Ka Kinh National Park Management Board, had been felled. Measurements at the scene revealed 15.792 cubic meters of round timber.

According to initial investigations, from October 5-7, 2022, Dinh A Hyot led and initiated the illegal felling of the two aforementioned trees along with several others.

The Kbang District Police have now initiated criminal proceedings and recommended prosecution against the individuals who cut down the two trees for the offense of "Violating regulations on forest exploitation, protection, and management of forest products."
