Mũi Cà Mau National Park (
The park was established by Decision 142/2003/QĐ-TTg of the Prime Minister of Vietnam on July 14, 2003, on the basis of the natural preservation zone of Đất Mũi, a zone founded by Decision 194/CT, dated August 9, 1986.
By 2025, the plan is to replant about 150 hectares of mangroves, as part of a five-year plan to restore the forest. Mangrove trees form an important natural barrier against natural disasters and in some way protect the Mekong Delta.[2]
The national park has great biodiversity. 26 species of mammals, 43 species of reptiles, 9 species of amphibians, 233 species of fish and 93 species of birds live here.[3]
