Hundreds of volunteers who are local residents, tourists and expats in Da Nang joined a beach clean event on Wednesday morning. They actively got involved in picking up litter and trash from the Nam (South) Beach on the Son Tra Peninsula in an effort to help keep the beach clean and protect marine life here.

The move aimed to inspire the public across Da Nang to contribute to a greener and cleaner environment on World Earth Day (April 22), and raise funds for the GreenViet Biodiversity Conservation Centre –launched campaign to grow 1 million trees in urban areas in order to make the environment more beautiful. In addition, the intention is to inspire the public across Da Nang to keep the Son Tra Peninsula, and Da Nang at large, clean and green.

The event was jointly organised by the Management Board of the Son Tra Peninsula and Da Nang Tourism Beaches, the GreenViet Biodiversity Conservation Centre, Da Nang Go, Green Run and Section 30.

Below are some nice photos, captured by our reporter Xuan Son, from this practical enronmental protection event.
