Kon Ha Nung Plateau in the Central Highlands province of Gia Lai has been recognised by UNESCO as a world biosphere reserve. The recognition affirms efforts of Vietnam and Gia Lai province in particular in protecting biodiversity and ecosystem and promoting sustainable development. Covering an area of 413,512 hectares, the Kon Ha Nung Biosphere Reserve is home to many rare species, and a relatively large area of upper land rainforest in the Central Highlands. The two core areas of the Kon Ha Nung Biosphere Reserve - Kon Ka Kinh National Park and Kon Chu Rang natural reserve on 57,493ha - have relatively intact ecosystems with high biodiversity, which are typical for the area's forest ecosystem, flora and fauna of the Central Highlands region. This biosphere reserve plays an important role in socio-economic development and maintaining the ecological balance of not only the Central Highlands region but also the central and southeast regions of Vietnam.
