Established in 2008, the museum of the Pu Huong Nature Reserve in Quy Hop commune, the central province of Nghe An, serves as a vital repository for the rare and valuable genetic resources of the area’s rich flora and fauna. The museum has three main sections: a hall of tradition with a 3D model showing the reserve’s terrain, geomorphology, and overall ecological landscape; an exhibition area with 150 zoological specimens; and another space displaying over 500 plant specimens. Covering nearly 46,500 hectares, Pu Huong is home to almost 570 animal species, including 69 named in the Vietnam Red Data Book, 51 in the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species 2020, and 36 in the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) list; together with over 1,800 plant species, including 76 in the Vietnam Red Data Book and 15 in the IUCN Red List 2020.
