Domestic and foreign officials, experts and scientists raised proposals to raise the efficiency of management over the UNESCO-recognised Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park in the central province of Quang Binh at a symposium on June 30. The event was jointly held by the provincial People’s Committee, the Vietnam National Commission for UNESCO and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism as part of activities celebrating the 20th anniversary of the UNSCO’s recognition of the park as a world natural heritage site (July 5, 2003). According to the UNESCO, the Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park comprises an area of 123,326 ha and contains terrestrial and aquatic habitats, primary and secondary forest, sites of natural regeneration, tropical dense forests and savanna and is rich in large, often spectacular and scientifically significant caves.
