Nam Nung Nature Reserve is located about 50km from Gia Nghia City, Dak Nong Province, with an area of more than 23,300 ha, spread over the administrative boundaries of 10 communes in 3 districts of Krong No, Dak Glong and Dak Song of Dak Nong province. Nam Nung Nature Reserve is also home to many magnificent landscapes such as a 7-storey waterfall (also known as Tiger Waterfall), dubbed the “best waterfall in the Central Highlands” or Bear Waterfall. Dray Sap waterfall is located in the landscape special-use forest over 1,600ha, in the area of Dak Sor and Nam Da communes, Krong No district. This landscape forest is also recognized as a national scenic spot. “Nam Nung’s landscape, environment and diversity of natural ecosystems, local culture, and historical relics have great potential for developing eco-tourism. This is a very important factor contributing to the unit’s stable income, from which the conservation work will be more effective. “In parallel with economic development and eco-tourism, the unit also implements many solutions at the same time to strengthen forest protection. One of them is linking forest protection with the indigenous people living around the forest by contracting. In the period of 2021 – 2025, the unit has signed contracts to contract forest protection with nearly 300 households in an area of nearly 3,000 ha. Thanks to that, the situation of forest law violations has decreased significantly, and people participating in contracts also have more stable incomes and improved lives”, said Nguyen Van Manh, Director of Nam Nung Nature Reserve.
