Tà Đùng National Park

The Park is about 45 km from Gia Nghia, the Provincial capital, and is in Đăk Glong District: straddling National Highway 28 for about 45 km southeast, until the border with Lâm Đồng province going towards Di Linh. Tà Đùng is bounded in the south by the upper Dong Nai river, between Dong Nai 3 and 4 hydropower projects. The Park includes the highest mountain range in Đắk Nông province, a geographical and biological intersection between the South Central Highlands and the Southeast region: the border between Đắk Nông and Lâm Đồng provinces follows the original course of the river before the lake was created.

Tà Đùng National Park functions include: protecting forest resources, conserving endangered and rare genetic resources and riparian zone protection especially for the Đồng Nai River basin. The latter provides water for domestic use, electricity production, and industrial and agricultural production in the Southeast region. The Park also provides protected areas for scientific research, training, sightseeing, eco-tourism, and environmental education.[1]

The national park has faced problems with illegal loggers exploiting the many large, valuable trees.[4] The Ma people cooperate with forest rangers in attempts to thwart logging activities.

Most of the land consists of upland seasonal tropical forests and a large lake with more than 36 substantial islands. The National Park was created on the basis of its diverse flora and fauna, thought to include: deer, leopard, primates, peacocks, pheasants, etc. Authoritative species lists appear to be currently (2023) unavailable, but it is thought that the Park contains organisms listed in the Red Book of Vietnam (at risk of extinction or a worrying decrease in numbers). Tà Đùng is one of the four endemic bird regions of Vietnam with one-eighth of the bird species recorded in Vietnam; it is one of the 222 endemic bird regions of the world
