Thousands of residents living on the eight islets that compose the Cham Islands in the central province of Quang Nam have found themselves dealing daily with the threat of monkey hordes.
Constantly rushing from the forest, the monkeys of the Cham Islands are noisy, steal from local households, and attack local residents.
In one particular instance last month, a group of people having lunch in front of a local homestay were attacked by a troop of monkeys which invaded the kitchen, smashed a rice cooker, and stole bags of fruit.
Ho Chi Minh City plans to expand the number of public green spaces between now and 2030 with an aim of improving the quality of life and beauty of the city.

This was the first-ever clean-up to protect the coral reefs from natural enemies and household waste.
Volunteers cleaned up coral reefs in Bai Tra, Bai Nan, Bai Xep, and Bai Bac beaches and caught crown-of-thorns starfish, a natural enemy of coral reefs.
The board also measured the vulnerability of marine ecological systems and assessed vegetation coverage to identify specific measures to protect the reefs./.
