Covering more than 7,300 hectares, Tram Chim National Park in Dong Thap province is one of the few remaining wetlands that still preserve the distinctive ecosystem of the Plain of Reeds (Dong Thap Muoi). In 2012, Tram Chim was recognised as Vietnam’s fourth Ramsar site and the 2,000th in the world. Over the past three years, the park has actively restored its ecosystems to conserve and attract the return of the red-crowned crane, achieving encouraging initial results. VNA Photo: Nhựt An
