Conservation Centers and Sanctuaries

Vietnam’s conservation centers and sanctuaries play a vital role in protecting the country’s diverse ecosystems and endangered species. Dedicated to wildlife conservation, they provide refuge and rehabilitation for a wide range of species while promoting sustainable practices and environmental education.

The Cuc Phuong Endangered Primate Rescue Center and the Turtle Conservation Center, both located in Cuc Phuong National Park, are leading organizations in primate conservation. They focus on the rescue, rehabilitation, and release of endangered primates, including gibbons, langurs, lorises, and turtles native to Vietnam. Visitors can learn about these endangered creatures, conservation efforts, and get involved in protecting them. The Cat Tien Bear Rescue Center, located in Cat Tien National Park, is committed to the welfare of bears rescued from the illegal wildlife trade. The center provides a safe haven for bears and educates visitors about the importance of wildlife conservation and the threats these animals face. The Pu Mat National Park Conservation Center, located in Nghe An Province, focuses on conserving the unique biodiversity of the Annamite Mountains. The center conducts research and conservation programs to protect wildlife in the region, including the critically endangered Saola. The Sea Turtle Rescue Center in Con Dao National Park is an important facility for the rescue and rehabilitation of sea turtles in Vietnam. The center offers guided tours to educate visitors about sea turtle conservation, participates in sea turtle releases, and nature exploration activities within the reserve.

These conservation centres and sanctuaries not only protect Vietnam’s wildlife, but also act as educational platforms to raise awareness about the importance of conservation.
