Magical Nature in Bù Gia Mập National Park

Flora:

Bù Gia Mập National Park in Bình Phước is home to 1,096 plant species and carries the character of primary forest. The park has many rare tree species such as trac wood, rosewood, ebony, and red afzelia.

In particular, in late April, after rainy days, one-leaf orchids take advantage of the conditions to grow and bloom. True to their name, these flowers have only one leaf. Hikers are lucky if they come across these small, simple orchid blossoms, because they bloom for only 5-7 days before fading and giving way to leaves and seed pods. This is an extremely rare flower, with only around 80 species found in tropical regions around the world. In Vietnam, only 5-8 species have been discovered.

Fauna:

In terms of wildlife, the park has 437 animal species, including more than 70 rare species. Many carnivores such as tigers, leopards, clouded leopards, sun bears, and Asian black bears are on the brink of extinction. Among the bird species, 10 are endangered, including pheasants, swiftlets, and peacocks.

Recently, experts discovered more than 86 additional rare species, including 28 amphibian species and 58 reptile species. Of these, 16 are listed in the Vietnam Red Book and global red lists.

A “healing place” for wildlife:

Over the years, the Rescue, Conservation and Biological Development Center of Bù Gia Mập National Park in Bình Phước has successfully rescued many wild animals. The center’s mission is to care for them, restore their health, psychology, and natural behaviors, and finally release them back into the wild.

Rich landscapes:

Besides its high biodiversity, the park also has countless beautiful landscapes, including majestic waterfalls and poetic streams beneath lush green canopies. When hikers come here, it can feel restorative. Leaving fatigue behind, your mind is filled with peaceful green, clear natural sounds, and cool fresh air.
