TP – On July 1, Mr. Tran Dang Hung, Vice Chairman of Thanh An Commune People's Committee (Cam Lo District, Quang Tri), informed that in the past week, a large flock of storks has appeared in the fields of Phu Ngan and An Binh villages of the commune to find food and shelter. This is a bird species listed in the Vietnam Red Book, a rare species that needs to be protected. Five years ago, a large flock of storks appeared in this area.

Flocks of storks often come to the rice fields in Thanh An commune and neighboring areas in numbers of 200-300.
Storks gather in large or small flocks to forage in the fields during the day, their main food being golden apple snails. In the evening, storks gather to roost in the cajuput forests or swamps in the surrounding area.
“To protect the flock of storks, the local government has asked villages and organizations to increase propaganda to raise people’s awareness of protecting migratory birds in general and storks in particular. Do not organize trapping or capturing in any form; regularly patrol, detect, promptly prevent and strictly handle acts of hunting, trading, transporting and consuming wild animals,” said Mr. Hung.
