Trang chủOf the four Asian pangolin species, two are on the Red List of the International Union for Conservation of Nature as critically endangered, specifically in Vietnam, there are two species: yellow pangolin and Javan pangolin.
Not only pangolins, Vietnam is also the “home” of 24 primate species. Unfortunately, 90% of Vietnam’s total primate species are extremely endangered, facing the risk of extinction. That’s why, in Cuc Phuong, under the canopy of the old forest, people are taking care of and protecting it day and night so that the “soul” of the forest does not disappear.
Aquatic creatures and animals are no exception. After the survey, not only the coral reefs around Hon Mun area but also other islands in Nha Trang Bay were damaged and reduced. Coral is the habitat of many species of creatures.
From the analyzed data, the report shows that 21% of mammal species, 6.5% of bird species, 19% of reptile species, 24% of amphibian species, 38% of fish species and 2.5% of Vietnam’s vascular plants have been and are being threatened. There are many causes leading to biodiversity loss in Vietnam, including direct and indirect causes.
Vietnam has 173 nature reserves. Along with that are 9 wetlands of international importance; and 10 marine protected areas have been established. To preserve biodiversity and sustainably develop these ecosystems is indeed an extremely difficult problem.
