Journey to exploring Vietnam’s biodiversity with 365 Travel

Vietnam boasts remarkable biodiversity, with lush forests, diverse ecosystems, and unique wildlife waiting to be discovered. At 365 Travel, we’re dedicated to connecting travelers with meaningful experiences that support responsible travel while immersing them in Vietnam’s natural beauty.

Discovering Vietnam’s wildlife

Vietnam ranks among the world’s 16 most biologically diverse countries, with extraordinary flora and fauna found nowhere else on Earth. From the majestic forests of Cat Tien National Park to the pristine shores of Ha Long Bay, Vietnam offers habitats for a diverse range of species. Its hot and humid climate supports approximately 11,217 documented animal species, including iconic creatures like Indian elephants, various bear species, Indochinese tigers, and pangolins. Smaller mammals such as pygmy lorises, primates like snub-nosed monkeys and Cat Ba langurs, as well as turtles and otters, also call Vietnam home. Additionally, Vietnam’s aquatic environments host approximately 2,470 fish species, over 23,000 coral species, and numerous invertebrates.

The Sunda Pangolin is a Critically Endangered species native to Vietnam.

However, these ecosystems face threats from deforestation, habitat loss, and illegal wildlife trade, making conservation efforts crucial.

Vietnam’s conservation efforts

Despite challenges, Vietnam has established 34 national parks and protected areas covering approximately 10% of the country’s land area to safeguard biodiversity. International organizations and dedicated conservationists work tirelessly to protect Vietnam’s natural heritage. At 365 Travel, we support these efforts by partnering with national parks, animal sanctuaries and sustainable local suppliers, offering visitors opportunities to engage in hands-on conservation activities.

TOUR VAN LONG NATURE RESERVE

Established in 2001, the Van Long Wetland Nature Reserve in Ninh Binh Province is the largest in the Vietnamese Northern Delta. It covers over 3,500 hectares and home to eleven different ecosystems, including limestone forests and wetlands. Its beautiful landscape features winding canals, peaceful lakes, and limestone mountains. This reserve is unique because it’s the only place to find the Delacour Langur, a critically endangered primate. Visiting here gives you a unique chance to see these fantastic animals in their natural habitat. It’s a one-of-a-kind experience.

TOUR CUC PHUONG NATIONAL PARK

Cuc Phuong National Park, located approximately 3 hours south of Hanoi, is Vietnam’s oldest park, established in 1962, renowned for its rich fauna and flora. With three wildlife rescue centers, it has rescued, rehabilitated, and released thousands of wild animals, contributing to the protection of endangered species, prevention of extinction, and preservation of Vietnam’s biodiversity. This has led to its informal recognition as Vietnam’s conservation center, with renowned conservationists such as Nado Tilor and Nguyen Van Thai, a Goldman Environmental Prize winner.
