First Eco-tourist map of Vietnam published

The first comprehensive eco-tourism map of Vietnam, published by the Fauna & Flora International (FFI)-Vietnam Conservation Support Programme in the end of Jan. 2005.

The map itself is a colorful and informative guide to nature in Vietnam and includes photographs of landscapes and endangered species. It pinpoints the exact location of all national parks and nature reserves, while providing information about local plant and animal species.

Also included are six inset maps of protected areas complete with topography information, trails and various other points of interest.

The Eco-tourism Map also highlights conservation initiatives that are under way throughout Vietnam. All proceeds from map sales will go directly to support Vietnamese primate conservation initiatives that protect endangered species such as the Western and Eastern Black-Crested Gibbons, Tonkin Snub-Nosed Monkey, Red-Shanked Douc Langur and Ha Tinh Langur.
