The park is a merger of the Du Gia Nature Reserves and Khau Ca Species and Habitat Conservation Area.

Covering a total area of over 15,000 hectares, the newly-established park is located in three districts of Bac Me, Du Gia, and Yen Minh.

 

The establishment of the park aims to protect the forest eco-system, rare and endangered animals and plants, as well as contribute to stabilising agricultural and industrial production in the area.

 

In addition, the park is expected to help boost ecotourism, increase the awareness of local people on protecting the environment, and encourage them to join tourism promotion activities to improve their living conditions and enhance the province’s socio-economic development.

 

The park has a 8,850 ha buffer zone across six communes in districts of Yen Minh, Bac Me, Vi Xuyen and Quan Ba.

 

The PM has assigned the provincial People’s Committee to manage the park and design a development project for the park and its buffer zone.
