| The Cat Tien National Park will be expanded to 83,100 hectares by 2030. |
Cat Tien National Park is located in the three provinces of Lam Dong, Binh Phuoc and Dong Nai, covering a total area of 71,300 hectares, including 39,500 hectares in Dong Nai.
Under the recommendation sent to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, by 2030, Dong Nai Province will allocate 11,000 hectares to expand the national park to 83,100 hectares in line with the national special-use forest planning.
Vo Van Phi, vice chairman of the Dong Nai People’s Committee, said that he hoped that the provincial proposal would be submitted to the government for consideration.
At a recent meeting with Dong Nai authorities, deputy minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Nguyen Quoc Tri highly appreciated the forest management in Dong Nai.
Tri thought it was necessary for the province to arrange more staff for Cat Tien National Park after being expanded. The province also needed to give more financial support for national park management.
Cat Tien is among six national parks under the management of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.
