Officials and employees of the Zoology Institute of the State Academy of Sciences, in cooperation with relevant units, conduct an overall survey on all indices at wild animal sanctuaries across the country and analyse and assess animal species and their habitat conditions. Meanwhile, they push ahead with the work to establish new sanctuaries in the areas where biological ecosystem is well preserved.
In particular, they step up the material and technical preparations for increasing the number of goshawks, the national bird, while directing main efforts to solving scientific and technological problems arising in eco-preservation for rare or endangered species, ensuring of bio-diversity in their habitats and protection and multiplication of useful animals.
The animal-breeding research institute of the Central Zoo, in collaboration with scientific research units, preserves and breeds the pedigree stock of Phungsan dog, the national dog, while promoting its good characters.
It exerts efforts to put the methods of breeding pigeons, pheasants and other animals on a high scientific basis.
The Institute of the Central Botanical Garden is achieving successes in completing technologies of raising useful economic plants and garden plants and breeding high-yielding species.
Its researchers are intensifying research into raising pine tree to make it retain its dignity and mood as befits the national tree.
They have already proved the profitability of their research including a new strain of Schizandra chinensis which is possible to be cultivated in fields in the central part of the country and the rational sprouting method of Paeonia suffruticosa of high economic value.
They frequently tour different parts of the country to collect specimens before verifying the distribution of plants and their biological features and to solve technical problems arising in spreading Elaeagnus multiflora, aronia, Crataequs spp and other trees of good species.
The institute also pushes the writing and compilation of books helpful for increasing the knowledge of plants and the common knowledge of gardens.
