A herd of some 30 langurs has been found in Quang Nam province’s Nui Thanh district. Nguyen Du, a local resident living in Tam My Tay commune, Nui Thanh district, Quang Nam province told reporters: "Since the programmes raising public awareness were held, there has been no more hunting in the area.
