The  exhibition, entitled ‘Treasure in the city’s inner’, drew the  participation of 30 wildlife photographers in Da Nang, focusing on the  protection of the endangered red-shanked douc langur (Pygathrix nemaeus)  in the Son Tra Nature Reserve.
 
It’s  also a communication programme of the Da Nang-based Centre of  Biodiversity Conservation, GreenViet, in raising public awareness of  protecting the langur and the biodiversity of the 2,500ha Son Tra Nature  Reserve.
 
The exhibition opened on January 10 and will last until January 15.
 
The  Son Tra Nature Reserve, 10km from Da Nang, is known for its rich  biodiversity and is home to 300 red-shanked douc langurs, only found in  east-central Laos and Vietnam.
 
The  central city has chosen the red-shanked douc langur as the official  mascot of Da Nang at the 2017 APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation)  Economic Leaders’ Meeting(VNA)
