dreams, and how to manage their anger "In the future, the children will have good personalities and become good citizens who are responsible in society and their community,‖ Chi said "Bright

of animals and 985 species of plants The reserve is also home to 300 redshanked douc langurs, which are found only in east-central Laos and Việt Nam The langurs were declared endangered by the

langur as critically endangered (CR) with unlimited protection status in the world The red-shanked douc langur was also chosen as the official mascot of Đà Nẵng for the 2017 APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation) Summit The city has asked its culture department to co-ordinate with relevant agencies and promote the image of the endangered species The choice of the langur as the mascot

the city, raising awareness among the community and the tourists on the need for protecting the species However, traps are still found and illegal hunting continues in the reserve Many restaurants inside the reserve have been used for illegal hunting and wildlife trafficking in the area Illegal loggers also destroyed a vast area in this protected nature reserve on the Sơn Trà Peninsula Two illegal hunting cases were documented in the reserve in 2015, and around 2,000 traps have been dismantled by rangers and volunteers In 2016, the city‘s forest protection sub-department launched criminal proceedings in a case that involved the killing of three red-shanked doucs in the reserve Trang said GreenViet is also co-operating with the Frankfurt Zoological Society of Germany, the San Diego Zoo in the United States and the IUCN to protect the red-shanked douc langur with long-term campaigns GreenViet and the Sơn Trà-Ngũ Hành Sơn‘s Forest Protection Sub-Department have agreed to
