Conservation efforts in U Minh Ha National Park stepped up

29 June 2015 | 03:00:00 PM

The southernmost province of Ca Mau has introduced a number of measures to conserve and promote the value of the U Minh Ha National Park.

 
 


Accordingly, the province will restructure its administrative system, and devise new models for residential settlement. Reforestation plans and fire prevention plans will also be implemented.

Ca Mau province has also improved the park’s eco-tourism services in a bid to generate income and make the national park attractive to domestic and international tourists.

The cajuput forest covers a total area of 75,000 hectares, with 8,000 hectares of valuable primeval forest. The forest is a key habitat for wetland ecosystem species and others, with many of them listed in Vietnam’s Red Book, such as the king cobra or pangolin.

The park was recognized by UNESCO as one of the three core zones of the Ca Mau World Biosphere Reserve in June 2009.

The park not only preserves the entire ecological system of the cajuput forest, but also acts as an ecological tourism destination and a research site for domestic and international scientists.
