Sunshine in a corner of the forest Chu Mom Ray is located in two districts of Sa Thay and Ngoc Hoi. Right next to Chu Mom Ray National Park are Cambodia’s Virachey National Park and Laos’ Southeast Ghong Reserve. This is one of 94 special-use forests of Vietnam, has the largest area of ​​primary forest and contains rare genetic resources. In 2004, Chu Mom Ray National Park was recognized as an ASEAN heritage by the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. The flora of Chu Mom Ray national forest is rich and diverse in number of species and status. This place has about 1534 species of plants, including 113 rare species of orchids, gymnosperms, oilseeds, conifers, needles, pine, bamboo, rosemary… This place once marked many fierce battles in the period of “cutting along Truong Son to save the country”. Some places in the forest still have traces of trenches, bomb craters… The way to Chu Mom Ray mountain has to go through a long barren hill, the trees are mostly burned for farming It is still the dry season, the fallen leaves cover the path. The road through the forest is quite dangerous There will come a time when you will encounter a flat area on high, called the mausoleum park (another name for the odd cane, different from the purple mausoleum variety). On the way, you will come across the old single bamboo trees …and many precious old trees If you don’t pay close attention, you will think this is a fallen old tree. But no, this is just a strangely shaped stump. You will encounter a wooden nu, a unique natural phenomenon. “Family” of mushrooms inside a tree cavity.

Yes! Only 90 hours, in the forest, a time to count quickly but cannot easily measure the nostalgia for the forests in the North of Tay Ninh bearing a name that sounds far away from the myths of Ruyon, Chang Riec, Lo. Go, Da Ha, Ta Xa, along with Tien Co streams, Cho streams, upstream of Vam Co Dong river, A Lan mountain, Ta Not grassland … Ho Chi Minh City writers delegation under an old coconut tree on the bank of the Vam Co Dong river during a practical trip to compose from April 14 to 17 Winding trails in the middle of the forest, moss in small patches of light in the sun filtered through the forest’s canopy like countless pieces of jade, the two sides of the road are entwined with flowers, the footsteps are a little hesitant at first. exploration, then a gentle and friendly feeling rushed to touch the stump of the old rice lentils, kerosene trees. The trees are silvery white, the trees are musty, the trees are rough, and every tree is soaring as going straight through the blue sky, making the canopy of leaves proudly on the forest space. The most poetic are the relatives of mistletoe, from dense ferns jostling for a noisy competition in the direction of sunlight, fragile and humble vines wrapped around the soft, idyllic root of the host, to the species of orchids that are tall and tall, they gather like a crowded population, for old trees to have friends, to support the loneliness of trees for hundreds of years, a few hundred years … Do not know if the time to enter the forest is the right time when the birds after lunch are full, gathered in the groves, singing together, forming a multi-level forest music concert. Sitting in the middle-ground thatched shack, the forest breeze ruffled through the trees, the forest leaves caught the wind like a thousand million cool fans, a little quiet, wandering to listen to the wild birds, the forest sometimes bustling like a harmony There are many voices, there is a holy voice that is sharp and arrogant, with a husky voice full of power but moderately, with a voice of challenge like scrambling, with a soft, gentle and gentle voice. And sometimes, the cicadas sing together, forming an enchanting forest symphony, hard to forget. 2. It was a bit of a surprise when I came to Lo Go-Xa Mat National Park which spreads in Tan Bien district of Tay Ninh province, 135 km from Ho Chi Minh City, surrounded by Vam Co Dong river in the West.

Take the boat upstream of Vam Co Dong river upstream According to statistics, the area of ​​Lo Go-Xa Mat National Park is 19,156 ha, the special-use forest accounts for 26% of the total natural forest cover of Tay Ninh province. The flora has 696 species and medicinal plants have 158 species, timber trees are 58 species, ornamental plants 21 species, food plants are 10 species, and vegetables are 7 species. Fauna system The number is up to 58 species of reptiles, 28 species of frogs, 88 species of fish, 128 species of insects, there are a number of rare species such as the black-shanked douc langur, Indochinese silver langur, small califers, bird fauna with the number of up to 203 species including many rare and precious water birds such as Giang Sen, Old Lady Java, Swallow Stork, Old Cavalry … When almost the surrounding areas of the forest are white, this place is like a paradise of nature with primeval forests, special-use forests, green to the eyes, green to the depths of green, the colors of rivers and streams, one color. The green forest is so beautiful .. Sitting on the boat along the water border, upstream of the Vam Co Dong river, looking at the banks are green streaks of flooded forest, arousing love like sweet honey with the forest, especially, On the Vietnamese side, there is an old Gaya forest, there are thousands of years old roots that are tangled, like knitting hooks deep in the river bed, the carpet of fallen leaves looks like hundreds of years of overlapping layers … And when I came here, sitting under the shade of Gua, lying on the leaf carpet, listening to stories about the battle to keep the land to keep the forest, feeling the love every inch of the land of the Fatherland was so choked … In the final hot sun In the dry season, walking in the forest canopies, following the trail of border patrol, listening to my heart is green and sweet, to calm my soul and spiritual feelings when I touch the national landmark 132-2, my eyes suddenly spicy … Border road in Chang Riec Lo Go-Xa Mat, where Ta Not grassland, gradually falls in the afternoon, and a trail of sunlight at the end of the day also runs slowly from the grassland to the other side of your country, on a 7-storey tower at an altitude of 33 m, in the vast wind, In the immense cloud of clouds, there are a few fluttering storks and storks to see a large frontier area, your side is the red and empty land, on this side you are the green forest flap, the green to the heart, I am worried about how to keep the green color sustainable … Heard, in the rainy season, wetlands and grasses, grass will make a beautiful green carpet, reflecting on the water surface will be soft shimmering grass branches. around, creating a shadow like a dream. 3. Hear the word “source”, “red address” stars like a sacred hard to describe. Crouched in the jungle, amidst the singing of a group of revolutionary songs accompanying the years, suddenly traveling through space and time back half a century ago, to hear echoes “ If you go out, you will preserve the mountains and rivers. If you leave, it is better to die. “ Not the first time coming here, but it seems that every time I step into the “R” battle zone, there is a strange excitement, like a rushing flow in my body, like a Liberation soldier marching out. Battle of the past … Bac Tay Ninh- “holy land” of the resistance war, in 15 years, from the fire of Dong Khoi 1960 to the day of reunification in 1975, the Central Department of the South has firmly stood in the primeval forest. back to many layers of trees covering Rung Duon and Chang Riec, in Tan Bien district, Tay Ninh province. This place marks the life and work in the years of the long and arduous resistance war of the eminent leaders of the Party, the State, our army and famous patriotic intellectuals who “leave the street. go to the forest “join the resistance war. The Central Base Bureau went down in history with the immortal nickname “R”. From “R”, the leaders of the revolution directed the creation of victory, from “Special War”, “Local War”, “War of Americanization and Vietnamization” to General Offensive and The Spring 1975 rebellion won all over, especially breaking the American Junction City from February 22 to May 14, 1967, hitting “R” directly. Ho Chi Minh City’s delegation visited the National Front for the Liberation of South Vietnam American generals on the battlefields of South Vietnam called “R” as “The White House and the Vietnamese Communist’s Pentagon in the middle of the jungle”. During the years 1965 – 1967, many international journalists and writers visited the legendary “R” base such as the Soviet Communist Party’s reporter of the Truth Report; Chinese Press – Photography – Television delegation; Australian journalist – Wilfred Graham Burchett; journalist of the French Communist Party’s Humanitarian Newspaper – Madeleine Riffaud; Polish writer-journalist – Monika Warnenska; Korean press delegation; Cuban press delegation … After returning home, they wrote many books and flaming reports on the Vietnam battlefield, contributing to the voice of international peace-loving friends supporting the Vietnamese people. Resistance against American imperialism. The forests here are also associated with the names of many leaders who have entered the history of the war against the US to save the country of the Vietnamese army and people. Suoi Nhung and Linh stream are associated with Secretary of the Party Committee, Secretary of the Central Department Nguyen Van Linh; May stream and Dat mountain associated with General Nguyen Chi Thanh; streams Tien Co, Ruch Don, Chang Riec associated with Central Secretary of the Department Pham Hung; Cho stream, Trang A Lan in association with lawyer Nguyen Huu Tho, architect Huynh Tan Phat … In the afternoon, the forest was pale in the morning, beside the Cho stream in the dry season, in the shade of green leaves to the bottom of the water, the slick moss-covered rocks were known to be the “fairy bathing” wharf of female soldiers in ” R “, suddenly heard in the wind the sound of girls laughing in the forest, suddenly choked when listening to the story of female martyr Huynh Lan Khanh, the third daughter of architect Huynh Tan Phat, sacrificed him. dung here … There was a moment in the midday sun, when we got here, the whole forest suddenly became strangely quiet, not knowing if the spirit of 14,000 martyrs died in the war against the US, the war to protect the southwest border and on international missions in Cambodia, including nearly 700 martyrs who are from Hanoi, located on hill 82 of the “R” war zone hiding this place? Writing us, writers, reminding them not to be forgotten on our pages. 4. The dawn of the forest after the rain was clear to sweet, only the birds singing hello to the sun were shining on the tops of the trees, sometimes a few mischievous hours of raindrops deposited on the leaves on the dry leaves … Suddenly remember also the month Tu, when interviewing a former Liberation Army-writer for an article titled “The Longest Day of War” on April 30, he mentioned the forest: “ Hearing the news that we had flagged a flag on the Independence Palace, I and my brothers and sisters in R quietly went to the forest, each one sitting and crying. Crying for joy, crying because of loving comrades who died. That night, there was a lot of gunshots, but not gunshots of death, but like calling out to swarms of good news to each other … ‘. Tho hill station for a time, across the river is Cambodia’s friend country And in me are many feelings, even though it is not the first time to come to this forest, but each time goodbye, I still feel indebted to the pages written about this place, indebted to the martyrs, those who lie. in the middle of the forest in the southwestern part of the country. Tay Ninh- Ho Chi Minh City (April 2021)

Big, weird monster in Fouke In Arkansas, it has been unknown since a story of a huge beast in the form of a human but its body covered with feathers. People around the area call it the servant that governing the green forest, full of power. Because of that heavy responsibility that this creature is extremely ferocious, it is ready to destroy anyone who dares to invade where it lives. These ideas are just a funny story, but it has come true since the 30s of the last century. One night in 1932, people in the city of Fouke, Arkanas suddenly heard the cry of the cattle in their ranch. Immediately, the rancher rushed out, in the dark, he spotted a fluffy animal biting on a sheep’s neck. Seeing that, the beast quickly ran out of the farm. In 1946, while walking near the outskirts of the town of Fouke, a woman saw a strange creature crossing the street quickly. She recounted: “It walks on two legs, has a large appearance, a hairy body …”. In 1955, local newspaper Victoria Advocate published an interview with a hunter in the area. He describes a special encounter with a bear-like creature, but goes straight and very agile. He hit a few shots, but the animal was still strong enough to flee deep into the forest. In the book The Apes Among Us Also noted the appearance of this creature through the narrative of a boy. During a walk, the boy saw a naked creature, hairy body, tall, with very long arms drinking water in the lake. The animal is very shy, when he saw the human, he ran away. These reports are only a handful of many human encounters with monsters since 1930, yet most witnesses only see the animal at a distance, or in the dark. Therefore, the police ignored these reports and said that this was just a scam of a few individuals who wanted to be famous. However, in 1971, the police had to change attitudes about the humanoid monster in the town of Fouke. Real encounters On the night of May 1, 1971, a young couple named Bobby and Elizabeth Ford phoned the police to report a strange creature rushing into the house and attacked. The wife panicked and told the police, at first they thought that the strange animal was just a bear looking for food outside the garden. But no, a monkey-like creature the size of a bear crashed into the house, lifted Bobby up high, and threw it against the wall. Fortunately at that time, there was Bobby’s brother Don, he quickly grabbed the gun and shot the animal. Although it didn’t hit, but the sound from the gun frightened the animal, it quickly escaped into the night. At the scene, the police collected countless traces to corroborate the above story. Furniture in the house was disturbed as if a fierce battle had just happened, scratches appeared on the wall. On the garden ground were very large footprints, feet only three toes, and a little fur. The most obvious evidence is Bobby, a healthy young man, but hospitalized because of the severe injury on his back. From here, most people can imagine how frightening they would have to face. The creature was discovered again on May 23, 1971. At that time, DC Woods, Jr, Wilma Woods, RH Sedgass were walking on the highway, near the town of Fouke. They suddenly saw a large monkey running quickly past the front of the car, too curious, the three stopped and ran into the woods. However, they did not catch up, but found only three-toed footprints on the ground. In the months that followed, local residents and tourists discovered more traces of the monster. The most famous trace was found in a pea field owned by a resident named Scott Keith, and those are still the giant three-toed footprints. From here, the mystery of this creature creates a bustling atmosphere in the town of Fouke. Immediately after the news about it was transmitted, countless curious people flocked here to explore and learn. Regional radio also offers generous bonuses for those who take pictures of this strange creature. However, all photos sent through the inspection are counterfeit. Witnesses saw the animal more and more, but by 1986, the mayor of Fouke City Virgil Roberts and former sheriff Leslie Greer declared that the Fouke was completely fake. Even so, every year, reports about the monster Fouke are still being regularly recorded. Even many websites reported about this creature, witnesses and curious people discussed passionately. The views of scientists The people of Fouke town all believe the animal is real, but scientists are always skeptical about it. They argue that physical evidence such as footprints and claw marks are easy to create and do not prove much. If it was said that the Fouke monster was humanoid, it must be a relative of the primate. But here, the witness described the Fouke monster with only three toes, far different from today’s primates – five toes feet. Many scientists have denied the existence of Fouke and this is just a scam. Besides, there are still a handful of scientists who believe that the monster Fouke is real. It is the descendant of Gigantopithecus – giant ape in China, India, existed from 5 million years – 100,000 years ago. The fossils indicate that Gigantopithecus are the largest primates in history. Most likely, the Fouke monster is a Gigantopithecus left on Earth and in need of human protection.

Forest conservation training in Spain. Photo GEUTREE The shrinking forest area seriously threatens the living environment, when the “green lung” is being destroyed every day. The destruction of nearly 70% of the world’s primary tropical forests has exacerbated climate change and biodiversity loss. Primeval rainforests, which are considered “natural buffers” to prevent climate change, are rapidly disappearing because of devastating human activities. According to the Rainforest Foundation Norway nonprofit, between 2002 and 2019, total forest loss was estimated to be greater than that of France. While another study by the World Resources Institute, on average, every six seconds, the area of ​​forest the equivalent of a football field disappears. The Secretary General of the United Nations, Australia, stressed that every year, the world loses 4.7 million hectares of forests, larger than the area of ​​Denmark. The International Organization for the Conservation of Nature (WWF) data shows that only 29 “hotspots” in South America, Africa and Southeast Asia account for 50% of the total deforestation area. bridge. Unsustainable agriculture is one of the main reasons for the disappearance of green forests. A huge area of ​​forest continues to be destroyed every year, mainly for large-scale agriculture. The biodiversity areas have been cleared for farming and livestock. In addition to the degradation of 30% of the forest, logging and land conversion, mainly for agriculture, have wiped out up to 34% of the world’s primary rainforests, leaving the rest of the forest standing. before the danger of further destruction in the future. Brazil’s Ammon forest has been a region of great pressure in the past decades as agricultural development has exploded. According to research by the Ammonia Geographical Reference Social Information Network (RAISG), about 8% of the world’s largest rainforest was destroyed between 2000 and 2018. Annual deforestation tripled between 2015 and 2018. With about 60% of Ammonia forest located in Brazil, the National Institute of Space Research Brazil (INPE The number of wildfires in this South American country increased by 12.7% in 2020, the highest level in the past decade. After Amonon in South America, the East-South Asian islands, largely in Indonesia, ranked second in deforestation since 2002, with most of the area The forest was cut down for palm oil plantations. Central Africa ranks third, with much of the destruction concentrated around the Congo River basin, due to logging and livestock. Scientists have warned about the implications of deforestation on the habitats of wild fauna and flora. Forests cover one third of the Earth’s land area and are home to 80% of all terrestrial wildlife and fauna. Meanwhile, about 90% of the world’s poorest depend on forest resources. The Secretary General of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) affirmed that forests play an important environmental role and provide essential services to millions of people. Many communities rely on forests for their livelihoods, as well as to ensure vast food security, climate regulation and stabilize the global economy. The dense tropical vegetation acts as the largest carbon reservoir, so the lost forest area is the main factor causing the increase in greenhouse gas emissions, causing the global temperature to heat up. The green forest has called out “cry for help” in the face of being destroyed by human activities. The United Nations and natural environment protection agencies call on the world to have a plan to help harmonize forest protection and wildlife habitat conservation with socio-economic benefits for people. people. Promoting human-appropriate wildlife and forest management models and measures, conservation of forest ecosystems and biodiversity is necessary and urgent.
