Central Vietnam's first forest school has been launched in Son Tra Nature Reserve to provide an outdoor education site for school students in the central city of Da Nang.
The Son Tra Peninsula, about 10km in the northeast of downtown Da Nang city, is home to about 300-400 red shanked douc langurs, a rare species deemed the "Queen of Primates".
Capturing images of red-shanked douc langurs has long been a passion for journalists in Da Nang city. Beyond the hobby, they also hope to convey the message of protecting the primate.
Recent rapid construction of more than 20 hotels and resorts in Son Tra Nature Reserve is threatening the survival of highly endangered langurs and other wildlife.
Nearly 200 scientists, biologists and conservationists, have unanimously agreed that the construction of all buildings in the Son Tra Nature Reserve should be stopped immediately.
