Cat Tien National Park is a treasure trove of biodiversity. Here in the tropical forests of southern Vietnam live some of the world's most endangered species. Out of an array of unique and endemic species, Cat Tien is perhaps most famous for its herd of Javan rhinos, which for 40 years were thought to be extinct. When caught in a camera trap in 1999, the whole world took notice. The park, one of the largest in the country, was established in recognition of Cat Tien's unique wildlife and the importance of protecting it.
 Those wanting to find out about Vietnam's flora and fauna will find a trip to Nam Cat Tien National Park a rewarding experience. Located 160 km from Ho Chi Minh City, Nam Cat Tien is reported to have 600 varieties of plants, 240 types of birds and 50 species of mammals...
