The "dual" heritage of the Southwest is towards green growth
Dong Thap Muoi Ecological Reserve was established in 1999 on over 100 hectares and a 1,800-hectare buffer zone to retain and preserve Dong Thap Muoi region's landscape, endemic flora and fauna. This place is known as a dual heritage because of the beautiful resource reserves and the most original and unique "alum pocket - flood area" of the Southern.
According to the representative of the Board of Directors of Dong Thap Muoi Ecological Reserve, through research, surveys and statistics, there are 156 species of plants, 147 species of birds, 34 species of fish, eight species of amphibians and 30 species of insects to live and develop.
Over the years, the locality has invested in improving infrastructure such as internal traffic, water canals, management houses, protective fences, and creating a natural and wholly isolated habitat for animals and plants to increase and develop. Mainly to prevent destructive fishing and human exploitation, causing the loss of rare plant and animal genetic resources, creating conditions for the recovery of endemic natural resources in Dong Thap Muoi. According to the plan, Tien Giang will continue to invest in expanding the area by 124 hectares in the coming time.

A strict protection policy and a favourable, peaceful and safe living environment are the factors that attract more and more waterbirds to live in Dong Thap Muoi Ecological Reserve. Among them, the most are relatives of storks. The Conservation Area has recently added many rare bird species to the Vietnam Red Book. In particular, dang sen - a giant water bird - has come to live, nest, and give birth in the Dong Thap Muoi ecological reserve.

Take a canoe along the inland canals leading into the strictly protected central area to see the richness of the precious flora and fauna. Storks, herons, and lotus nest on melaleuca, gua, or ancient cajuput trees.
Under the water, flocks of large and small fish eat the net, snapping at the bait, echoing in the clusters of water hyacinth and water lotus blooming with purple flowers. The bushes are home to reptiles and amphibians, including rare cobras. In the distance, you will see substantial wasp nests under the canopy of ancient trees.
