Tram Chim National Park, located in the Mekong Delta Province of Dong Thap, has made the conservation of 57 endangered species, including 8 plant, 32 water bird, and 17 aquatic species, a top priority.
According to Nguyen Van Hung, the Director of Tram Chim National Park, the province has approved a plan to invest 207 billion VND (9.68 million USD) in the protection and development of Tram Chim’s wetlands ecosystem for the 2013–2020 period, with more than 7 billion VND (327.568 USD) to be spent on biodiversity conservation.
A number of conservation measures have been implemented so far, including monitoring wildlife migration and population changes, supplementing food for redheaded cranes in the dry season and releasing numerous fish species back into the wild.
Tram Chim National Park, the world’s 2,000 th Ramsar site, is home to 130 plant, 130 fish and 231 bird species. Its most notable species, the migratory redheaded crane, is listed on the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List.
