 forest, national park

2,461 plant species have been confirmed to occur at Pu Mat, some of which may be new to science; taxonomic work is currently underway to confirm this. The most widespread vegetation type in the national park is lowland evergreen forest.
Pu Mat is probably one of the most important sites for mammal conservation in Vietnam. The Social Forestry and Nature Conservation in Nghe An Province (SFNC) surveys and research have confirmed the presence of five mammals endemic to Indochina: Northern White-cheeked Gibbon, Red-shanked Douc, Saola, Truong Son Muntjac and Annamite Striped Rabbit. The SFNC studies also confirmed the continued occurrence a number of other globally threatened mammals at Pu Mat, including Assamese Macaque, Dhole, Indochinese Tiger and Asian Elephant.
