On November 14-15, the People’s Committee of Tam Nong District, Dong Thap Province, organized a training session to equip participants with knowledge and communication skills for the 2024 project on the conservation and development of the red-crowned cranes at Tram Chim National Park.

The training was divided into three classes, each with 150 participants, including leaders, officials, and civil servants responsible for communication work in district agencies, political organizations, and social organizations. One class was dedicated to members of the Farmers' Association, Youth Union, and community groups, while another targeted school units and students from communes and towns within the district.

During the training, Mr. Nguyen Hoai Bao, a lecturer from the University of Natural Sciences in Ho Chi Minh City, and Mr. Doan Van Nhanh, Deputy Director of the Center for Conservation and International Cooperation at Tram Chim National Park, introduced participants to Tram Chim National Park, the red-crowned cranes, and key components of the project on conservation and development of the species at the park.

The training aimed to provide participants with knowledge about the communication strategies, policies, and measures of the Party, State, and local authorities related to the restoration, protection, and development of the red-crowned cranes. It also sought to promote awareness, communication, and advocacy for the project to restore and develop the Sarus Crane at Tram Chim National Park among local and external communities.

Currently, Dong Thap Province is implementing a project to restore the rare and precious red-crowned cranes population in the region. According to the project plan, over ten years (2022-2032), 100 cranes will be bred and released, with at least 50 expected to survive. The released flock will be capable of natural reproduction, living year-round in Tram Chim National Park. Additionally, during the 2022-2028 period, the province plans to import and care for approximately 30 six-month-old red-crowned cranes from Thailand before releasing them into the wild.
