Nguyen Van Dien, Director of the Park  said on July 7 that the forests in Dinh Quan District of Dong Nai  Province previously belonged to La Nga Forestry Limited Company.
 
The area is 26 kilometres long and is a  range of successive forests close to that park. The forests currently  have no human inhabitants.
 
According to Dien, the company decided  to hand over the forests to the park as the area is too large for them  to adequately manage.
 
“The forest takeover is a positive  move to provide more favourable conditions for several rare and precious  wild animals such, as bulls, yellow-cheeked gibbons, black-shanked douc  and Asian elephant. It will also foster preservation at the park,” he  added.
  
The park’s management board will  report to the provincial government, the Ministry of Agriculture and  Rural Development as well as the government to legalise their ownership  over the additional area
