Sơn Trà master plan needs amending
The central city plans to petition the Prime Minister for adjustments to the Sơn Trà Master Plan in order to better protect the eponymous nature reserve. Đà Nẵng Deputy Chairman Nguyễn Ngọc Tuấn also said at a press conference on Monday that the city will strictly punish all violations including illegal project constructions on Sơn Trà Mountain. Some projects related to illegal logging in the area would be stopped. The chairman’s statement comes as illegal logging, hunting and construction of houses, restaurants, villas and hotels have wreaked major destruction in the Sơn Trà Nature Reserve for several years now.
