According to the Director of the Management Board of Phong Dien Nature Reserve, Mr. Le Van Huong, on the afternoon of May 17, the reserve, in coordination with Vietnam Nature Conservation Centre, deployed a camera-trap system in a targeted area to monitor wildlife and pheasant species, aiming to record population data of general wildlife as well as pheasants in particular within the reserve. Through this effort, the team recorded the presence of multiple endangered and critically endangered species.

On the morning of May 14, Mr. Le Van Huong, Director of the Management Board of Phong Dien Nature Reserve, said that 20 Edwards's pheasants have just been transported by air from Berlin Zoological Garden in Germany to Vietnam under an international cooperation program on nature conservation, opening up expectations for the conservation of one of Vietnam’s rare and precious species.

This was the theme of a workshop jointly organized on May 7-8 by the University of Agriculture and Forestry, Hue University, in collaboration with Viet Nature Conservation Centre, Hue Forest Owners Sustainable Development Association (HUE-FOSDA), Hue City Forest Protection Department, and Phong Dien Nature Reserve Management Board.
