<\/strong>HO CHI MINH CITY<\/strong> – More than 300 wildlife photography enthusiasts and birdwatchers gathered at SC VivoCity in Ho Chi Minh City at the opening and prize presentation ceremony of the \u2018Wild Birds and Mammals of Vietnam\u2019 Photography Exhibition. Now in its second year running, this year\u2019s exhibition held from 12 to 17 October focuses on the theme of endangered birds and mammal species in Vietnam, and is jointly organised by WildTour, the Vietnam Wildlife Photography Club and BirdLife International, supported by the Ho Chi Minh City Photography Association (HOPA), and sponsored by Mapletree Investments, Canon Vietnam and Lexar. \u2018Wild Birds and Mammals of Vietnam\u2019 is a culmination of a month-long, nationwide photography competition with a focus on Vietnam\u2019s endangered species from July 2024 to early September 2024. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s exhibition profiles wild birds and mammals in Vietnam. Vietnam supports some of the highest concentration of endangered species in Southeast Asia. Of note is Vietnam\u2019s diversity of primates, among the most imperilled primate faunas in the world, and home to the charismatic Tonkin Snub-nosed Monkey and the Delacour\u2019s Langur. Similarly,  Vietnam\u2019s bird fauna is rich but threatened by habitat loss and trapping for the pet trade. \u2018More than 400 images were received by our team, many of them exceptionally high-quality images of some of Asia\u2019s rarest bird and mammal species\u2019, observed Mr Nguyen Truong Sinh, lead organiser of the competition and chairperson of the Vietnam Wildlife Photography Club. He also chaired the judging panel with seven other experts. Dr Yong Ding Li who represents BirdLife International on the panel agreed and noted that the images received were more diverse than the inaugural competition in 2023 and reflects a rapidly growing interest in nature photography in Vietnam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Exhibition coincided with the World Migratory Bird Day weekend on 12 October 2024, held twice a year to celebrate the spectacular movement of birds across the globe every Spring and Autumn. Over this time, millions of migratory birds can be expected to be on their journeys across the Asian continent, moving from wetlands to wetlands along the East Asian-Australasian Flyway, including here in Vietnam. Several migratory species were featured among the exhibited images, including among them the Spoon-billed Sandpiper, Great Knot and Wallcreeper, the last an extremely rare visitor to northern Vietnam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr Edmund Cheng, Chairman, Mapletree, added: \u201cWe are pleased to witness our support for environmental awareness in Vietnam gain momentum, starting from our first migratory bird event in 2023 at the wetlands of Can Gio. This commitment is influenced by Mapletree\u2019s environment and education pillars, two of the four pillars under our Corporate Social Responsibility framework to enrich communities in markets where we operate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was great to see the high quality of submissions received from not just photographers in south Vietnam, but also from further away in Ha Noi and Da Nang. I was particularly impressed with the fantastic selection of  Vietnam\u2019s endemic and wild birds documented in these photographs. The selection of mammals was equally impressive, with some of the best shots of the rare Cat Ba Langur. Eventually our committee of judges agreed that the Tonkin Snub-nosed Monkey image by Mr Chung Van Thanh was the best of the lot\u201d, observed Mr Nguyen Hoai Bao, director of WildTour and chairperson of the judging panel with five other experts.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s exhibition is the fourth World Migratory Bird Day event supported by Mapletree since 2023, starting from the \u2018Celebrating Migratory Birds in Vietnam\u2019 activity organised in Can Gio wetlands by WildTour and BirdLife. In 2024, Mapletree supported the first ever Vietnam Bird Race, held at Tr\u00e0m Chim National Park. The organisers and supporters of this event plan to build on the success of this year\u2019s event and introduce new elements to attract more bird and nature enthusiasts from across Vietnam. The Vietnam Bird Race will take place annually and the next iteration is slated to be held in May 2025. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
