According to Mr. Son, in 2025, the Da Nang Special Forest Management Board received reports from local residents about signs of elephant breeding in the Na Lau area (Que Phuoc commune). Following this, the Da Nang Special Forest Management Board developed a plan and placed 30 camera traps at 15 locations in areas where the elephant herd frequently moves. (Photo: Management Board )
