With the theme ‘Brown-shanked douc langur - Treasure of the Son Tra Peninsula’, the entries were required to show the children's love of nature for the Son Tra Peninsula that is dubbed as the green lung of the city, especially brown-shanked douc langur, presenting the idea of community solutions to join hands to protect this type of animal on the peninsula.
