Among them, a wild pangolin was discovered by Mr. Ngo Van Luu (residing in Hoa Khuong commune, Hoa Vang district) lost in his garden. When he learned that this was an endangered, rare wild animal that needed to be preserved, Mr. Luu contacted the authorities to hand it over.

The Burmese flower kite was voluntarily handed over to the authorities by Ms. Nguyen Thi Mong Luong (residing in Hoa Tho Tay ward, Cam Le district).

A white-bellied ibis appeared in the garden of Mr. Ngo Tat Hung (residing in Khe Trung ward, Cam Le district). Mr. Hung captured it and handed it over to the authorities.
