"When we found it, it seemed to be hurt, was struggling in situ and couldn’t fly. Because it was very cold in the evening, we decided to take it home." In the evening of January 14, 4 secondary school students in Jingpo Town Rucheng County played in the forest during the weekend and retrieved a wounded strange bird. They got through querying network that this strange bird was actually the national precious wild animal, so they immediately called the police.
The police of Forest Public Security Bureau in Rucheng County received the alarm and immediately rushed to the students’ home. After seeing the "strange bird", the police introduced to the students that this strange bird called Monkey Face Hawk, had been on the verge of extinction and was the second class national protected animals. The police praised the children’s behavior of actively rescuing the national key protected wild animals, explained to them about the relevant laws and regulations, and educated them that illegal hunting and sale of precious wild animals were illegal.
After two days of medical assistance, the Monkey Face Hawk has been restored to health with the ability to survive in the wild. In the afternoon of January 16, the police took the Monkey Face Hawk to the forest area for release. In recent years, the Forest Public Security of Rucheng County has achieved good social results through strengthening the propaganda of protecting wild animals and plants, and continuously enhancing public awareness of protecting wild animals and plants.
