Locals residing near nature reserve areas in the central Thanh Hoa Province have been encouraged to hand over homemade weapons used to catch wild animals.

 

Police collaborated with rangers to pilot the "exchanging guns and dangerous weapons for gifts" program on Wednesday in Hoi Xuan Town of Quan Hoa District.

 

With part of the mountainous town located in the Pu Hu and Pu Luong nature reserves, home to many wild animals, residents have developed the habit of poaching using guns and other forms of equipment, said captain Le Dinh Hoa, head of Hoi Xuan Police Department.
