Restoring the mangrove community of nearly 100 hectares in the core zone of Tram Chim National Park

On October 4, Mr. Doan Van Nhanh, Deputy Director of Tram Chim National Park Conservation Center, said that over the past 2 years, with many synchronous solutions, Tram Chim National Park has restored the sedge community (the biological community in the sedge field) on nearly 100 hectares in the core area of ​​Tram Chim National Park.

The metallurgical community in the core zone of Tram Chim National Park is recovering strongly.

This is an important premise for proactively preparing favorite natural food sources for red-crowned cranes.

Previously, Tram Chim National Park burned the ground cover in the Go Lau Voi area, then plowed to create favorable conditions for the development of cajuput, actively regulated the water level according to the season, and controlled the pH of the soil. After a while, the cajuput fields have grown lush and green, along with the strong recovery of young cajuput trees... This is also the result of the implementation of the project "Conservation and development of red-crowned cranes at Tram Chim National Park in the period of 2022-2032" that Dong Thap province is implementing.

Dong Thap wishes not only to protect the red-crowned cranes, but also to protect the original ecosystem of the ancient Dong Thap Muoi region. With a large area and a rich ecosystem most similar to the former Dong Thap Muoi.

Currently, the ecosystem at Tram Chim National Park is recovering strongly both on land and underwater, attracting many species of birds to nest and breed such as: stilts, combed ducks, necked egrets, and sen... In 2024, Tram Chim National Park welcomed 7 red-crowned cranes back - a good sign for the project to conserve and develop red-crowned cranes.

According to Dr. Tran Triet, Director of the Southeast Asia Program, International Crane Society, ecosystem restoration is not only of scientific significance, but also brings great spiritual and cultural values. Tram Chim National Park is striving to become a comprehensive ecological model, combining nature conservation, ecotourism development and environmental education .

The project to conserve and develop the red-crowned crane is not only a story about the conservation of rare animals, but also a testament to the strong and determined commitment of Dong Thap province. It is the proactive investment of the budget and the mobilization of social resources to join hands in preserving biodiversity.
