The Tram Chim National Park in the Mekong Delta province of Dong Thap, one of the few remaining inland wetlands of the former Dong Thap Muoi region, plays a vital role in conserving biodiversity and developing sustainable ecotourism. Covering an area of over 7,300ha, Tram Chim is a wetland with characteristics typical of the inland wetland ecosystem of Dong Thap Muoi (the Plain of Reeds), adjacent to four communes: Tram Chim, Phu Tho, Tam Nong, and An Hoa. Recognised by the Ramsar Convention in 2012 as the 2,000th Ramsar site in the world and Vietnam’s fourth, the national park remains a haven for migratory birds and features rich terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Therefore, conserving the national park alongside the development of ecotourism has become the locality’s strategy for promoting economic growth and environmental protection. VNA Photo: Hồng Nhung
