Cat Tien National Park
- Dao Tien is located in Cat Tien National Park (CTNP), which is a very important area for bio diversity in South East Asia. The National Park is situated in the foothills of the Ammanite Mountain range 150km North of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
- CTNP was placed under state protection in 1978, and by 1992 it covered over 70,000ha of rare lowland forest. In 2002 CTNP was declared a Biosphere Reserve, and more recently a Ramsar site and listed for World Heritage designation.
- There are two sectors of the Park divided by a band of densely populated agricultural land.
- The northern Cat Loc sector is home to the last remaining Vietnamese rhinoceros survive (Rhinoceros sondaicus annamiticus). The southern Cat Tien section provides sanctuary for Asian elephants (Elephas maximum) and herds of Gaur (Bos garus).
- Due to the uniqueness and rarity of the wildlife found in CTNP, this is a location for much international and national research.
