On May 22, 2025, the Mekong Delta province of Dong Thap hosted a ceremony to receive the certificate recognizing Tram Chim National Park as a Ramsar Site of wetlands of international importance.
At the event, officials from Dong Thap pledged to collaborate with local communities to combat the ongoing encroachment and degradation affecting the park. This ceremony highlighted the efforts made by Dong Thap authorities and residents in the conservation and sustainable management of one of the last remaining wetlands in the Plain of Reeds.
Tram Chim National Park, situated in the Mekong Delta province of Dong Thap, is now the fourth Ramsar Site in Vietnam. The other three are Ba Be National Park in Bac Kan Province, Xuan Thuy National Wetland Reserve in Nam Dinh Province, and the Bau Sau Wetlands within Cat Tien National Park. Tram Chim is renowned as a sanctuary for birds and is home to several rare species that are listed in the Red Data Book.
The designation of a Ramsar Site is an accolade given under the Ramsar Convention, an international treaty aimed at the conservation and sustainable use of wetlands. This treaty acknowledges the crucial ecological roles that wetlands play as well as their economic, cultural, scientific, and recreational significance. The recognition of Tram Chim National Park as a Ramsar Site underscores its immense ecological, cultural, and recreational value.
