The Dak Nong geopark has been validated as a member of UNESCO Global Geoparks Network for another four years, from 2024 to 2027.
It was first recognised in July 2020, becoming the third to obtain this title in Vietnam, after Dong Van Karst Plateau Geopark in Ha Giang province, and the Non Nuoc Cao Bang Geopark in Cao Bang province.
The park covers more than 4,700 sq.km, stretching through six districts and cities. It is home to 65 geological and geomorphologic heritage sites.
With a tropical forest ecosystem, the geopark holds typical biodiversity values. This land also preserves many unique cultural, geological, and natural features as well as traces of prehistoric activities./.
