Rangers to identify injured monkeys at Sơn Trà Mountains

Phương, who is head of the city’s forest protection sub-department, said warnings on feeding monkeys and other wildlife had been posted at destinations in the Sơn Trà Mountains, but some tourists neglected the notices.

They (tourists and local residents) fed the monkeys with snacks, candy and biscuits, he said.

Efforts have been made to drive troupes of monkeys back to the Sơn Trà Nature Reserve over recent months, but a group of  三0 monkeys still occupy the Linh Ứng Pagoda garden seeking food from visitors, Phương said.

Monkeys can be seen heading downhill to look for food from tourists and dustbins at the Linh Ứng Pagoda, resorts, fruit gardens and kitchens at farms in the reserve.

Six monkeys were killed by motorcyclists in  二0 一 五- 一 七, and two cases of illegal hunting were uncovered in the area, with three red-shanked douc langurs killed for money.

At least  一0,000 people visit the areas every month, causing noise pollution and leaving leftovers and rubbish in the reserve, a report from the Sơn Trà management board said. — VNS
