                             The Ca Mau provincial authorities have approved a VND 400 billion (US$ 17.92 million) plan to preserve and develop the U Minh Ha national park.

The plan targets to safeguard the  biological diversity, natural landscape of the park as well as promote  the reasonable use of forestry resources there.
 Accordingly, the situation of the national park will be thoroughly  evaluated in order to designate a planning for different functional  areas. Action programmes and solutions will be built to better the  management of the park, improve forest fire prevention and control, and  preserve biological diversity.
In addition, the awareness on current legal regulations on protecting  the park of those working in the park, as well as residents living in  the core zone of the site will also be raised.
The plan is also expected to boost ecological tourism and  community-based tourism in Ca Mau province, helping to connect the  locality with the tourism sitemap of the Mekong river delta.
U Minh Ha National Park has a total area of 8,527.8 hectares, spreading  across Khanh Binh Tay Bac and Tran Hoi communes of Tran Van Thoi  district and Khanh An and Khanh Lam communes of U Minh district.
Nearly 2,600 hectares is designated as the core zone subject to strict  protection while around 5,190 hectares are zoned off for preserving and  restoring the cajeput forest biological systems. The remaining area, 743  ha, is used for administrative and support facilities as well as  eco-tourism activities.
U Minh Ha National Park was recognised by UNESCO as one of the three  core zones of the Ca Mau World Biosphere Reserve in June 2009.
The park was home to distinctive flora and fauna including 32 mammal  species and 74 bird species. It is currently home to 700-800 heads of  deer, hundreds of wild boars and a variety of precious birds
