Sarus cranes returning to Tram Chim

PANO - Sarus cranes, a rare species listed in the Red Book, are now flocking back to Tram Chim National Park, Tam Nong District, Dong Thap Province.

Many have been observed living in sections A1 and A5 of the National Park.

This is good news since the sarus cranes fled from Tram Chim, which was once their habitat, because of a large fire within the park area some years ago.

The return of the birds also indicates that the environment in the park has gradually been restored.

Tram Chim is home to more than 250 kinds of birds, including many in the Red Book.
