Con Dao National Park (Vietnamese: Vườn quốc gia Côn Đảo) is a natural reserve area on Con Dao Island, in Bà Rịa–Vũng Tàu Province in coastal southeastern Vietnam.[1] The park includes a part of the island and the surrounding sea. The national park is characterized by a diverse ecosystem. Many species of corals and especially the sea turtles, dolphins, and endangered dugongs are found here.[2] In 2006, a delegation of UNESCO Vietnam representatives surveyed the area and concluded that the park is eligible to be a natural-cultural mixture World Heritage. The Vietnamese government is preparing necessary documents to submit to UNESCO soon. A controversial paved road project had been proposed by the local government but was finally rejected by the national government following protests from environmental activists.
