The UNESCO has recognized the Ca Mau cape national park in the southernmost province of Ca Mau as a world biosphere reserve.

Ca Mau Cape National Park is located in Dat Mui Commune, Ngoc Hien District. The park was established by a Prime Minister’s decision on July 14, 2003 on the basis of the natural preservation zone of Dat Mui. The reserve covers a total area of more than 370,000ha. The most ecologically valuable and largest salt-marsh forest in Vietnam is home to more than 100 rare and endangered species of fauna.

Earlier, international visitors and people have come to the U Minh Ha National Park and the Ca Mau Cape National Park where officials cast tens of million prawn breed in a bid to restore natural seafood sources and released wild animals Seafood breeds were cast into the sea and animals released into the forest as an enriching activity.

Vietnam currently has six UNESCO-recognized biosphere reserves, Can Gio Mangrove near HCM City, Cat Ba Island in northern Hai Phong City, Cat Tien National Park north of HCM City, Kien Giang Biosphere Reserve in southern Kien Giang Province, Red River Delta Biosphere Reserve near Hanoi and the Western Nghe An Biosphere Reserve.
