Book On Tam Dao’s Birds Debuts

The photographer, who has spent over a decade capturing the varied wildlife, jointly collaborated with the Tam Dao National Park’s management board and the German Government-funded buffer zone management project to invite visitors to discover the diversity and richness of bird species in the National Park by taking a virtual tour through the book.
Commenced in 2003, the GTZ Tam Dao National Park and Buffer Zone Management Project aims to improve the Tam Dao National Park ’s conservation and management capacity, with a view to preserving the park’s biodiversity, the local environment and livelihood of people living in the buffer zone.
Located about 70km north of Ha Noi, Tam Dao National Park has a total area of 36,900 ha. It is one of the largest national parks in the country and one of the last natural areas close to fast urbanised Ha Noi.
The national park is currently home to around 1,300 species of floras and 1,200 species of fauna with many of whom can only be found in Tam Dao or northern Viet Nam.
