InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort in Vietnam has installed three new “monkey bridges” to aid the movement of red-shanked douc langurs around the resort. These bridges, made of bamboo and rope, allow the critically endangered primates to travel safely and access their preferred feeding areas.
With only around 2,000 red-shanked douc endangered langurs remaining in the wild, the resort aims to protect their habitat and support their populations. Five families of these rare primates reside within the resort, and the new bridges provide stress-free passages through the forest canopy.
Bridges for Endangered Langurs
The bridges also benefit other native species, such as macaques and squirrels. InterContinental Danang focuses on preserving the Son Tra Peninsula’s ecosystems and engaging in important conservation projects.

“At InterContinental Danang, we understand that we have a responsibility to preserve the precious ecosystems of the Son Tra Peninsula. One of the best ways to help protect the red-shanked douc langurs is to keep their migration routes open. Our monkey bridges act like aerial highways, letting them live, feed and breed in complete peace and safety.
“The bridges are not only used by red-shanked douc langurs, however; other native species such as macaques, squirrels and even civets have been seen using them, which shows how beneficial they are to our wildlife,” says Seif Hamdy, General Manager, InterContinental Danang.
