The monkeys quickly got used to their new natural environment at Vu Quang National Park (Ha Tinh province).

The selected release locations are in 2 forest areas of Vu Quang National Park with separate monkey release areas and separate cobra and krait release areas.

This is a place with natural conditions suitable for the habits and distribution of the species, far from residential areas and agricultural areas, with abundant water and food sources.

After release, these wild animals can grow, reproduce, and form groups without causing conflicts with their own species or disrupting the ecological balance of the release area.
