US consulate to host Dugong protection fair
The US consulate in HCM City will host a fair on the dugong today to raise awareness about protecting the marine mammal.
The fair will provide information about the animal, which faces a very high risk of extinction in the country’s seas.
There will be a talk by the consulate’s Ray Nayler, films, a drawing competition, and a quiz about the dugong, and a dancesport contest based on songs about the dugong.
A game corner for children will feature painting, singing, and story-telling contests.
Souvenirs with a “Save the Dugong” logo chosen through a contest will be handed out to participants.
The fair will open at 1.45 pm on the eighth floor of Diamond Plaza in District 1. Admission will be free. — VNS
