The establishment of the national park aims to preserve the typical ecosystem and biodiversity, including 90 species of flora and 50 species of rare and precious fauna.
The project is expected to trigger other programs to protect cultural values, natural landscapes and ecological environment, while more trees will be planted in the natural forests to increase the quality and coverage of the forests from 84% in 2016 to 95% to 2030, offering a good living environment for species of flora and fauna.
