“…The TCNP also has a tropical monsoon climate with two seasons including a rainy season (May to October) and a dry season (November to April). An average annual local rainfall in the park is approximate 1,400 mm and its 85% occurs in the rainy season [36,37].…”

“…A system of canal and levee largely dominates a hydrological regime of the park. Main tools such as levees, berms, and gates are used to control a water exchange between wetland zones and canals in the TCNP [36]. In the context of management, the TCNP is divided into 5 different management zones, from zones A1 to zones A5.…”

“…In general, alluvial sediments and acid-sulphate soils are the two main soil types in the park [38]. November with an average flood water level from 2.85 -2.96 m (MSL) and an annual flood peak is about 4 m (MSL) [27,36,37]. An integration of local rainfall and water from the Mekong River leads to the annual flood of the park [25,36].…”

Wetlands account for about 41% of the total global ecosystem services value; therefore, they preserve a role as the most precious ecosystems on Earth. However, 35% of global wetland areas have been lost since 1970 as many wetlands have been exploited unsustainably. In this context, a hydrogeomorphic delineation approach has been developed to divide a wetland landscape into units which have homogeneous hydrological regime, geomorphology, and soil, named as hydrogeomorphic units (HGMUs). These units are fundamental units of a wetland for functional and resilience assessment of a wetland in different uses; then, to determine optimal management strategies for maintaining its complete ecosystem functions. This study used Tram Chim National Park for applying the hydrogeomorphic delineation approach for breaking a landscape of the park down into HGMUs. The findings showed that the park may be divided as three classes, including depression, riverine, and flat. Each class continued to be subdivided as subclasses. The results showed that there were six subclasses, i.e. six HGMUs, which identified in the park. Based on the results, the study described characteristics of HGMUs and created maps of HGMUs distribution of the park. These results will be a basis for next steps of applying functional assessment procedures for analyzing potential of the HGMUs to perform ecosystem functions in our upcoming study for preservation and management purposes in Tram Chim National Park.

“…The typical ecosystem in Tram Chim National Park is the inland wetland ecosystem characterized by the evergreen broadleaf evergreen closed forest type on acidic soils. Tram Chim is considered an ecological standard of Dong Thap Muoi wetland with 6 typical plant communities: Tram community (3,018.9 ha), grass community (1,965.9 ha), community of Nan (898.8 ha), community of Lua ma (678.4 ha), community of Mom mold (305.1 ha) and Sen community (63.8 ha) (T. T. N. Nguyen et al, 2017). According to the survey data, there are about 130 plant species in Tram Chim National Park, including 14 woody species, 2 shrubs, 5 vines, and 109 herbaceous species (Le & Truong, 2016).…”

Although new ecotourism indeed developed from the last years of the twentieth century, it has been receiving considerable attention from the whole society, because of its superiority compared to other types of tourism in terms of responsibility for people, nature, and environment. Ecotourism is becoming popular as visitors begin to pay more attention to minimizing their impact on the beautiful lands they come across. Vietnam has become an ideal place to provide many eco-tourism experiences for tourists interested in the environment. Tram Chim is one of the National Parks in Vietnam that has excellent potential to develop this type of ecotourism as it is considered a "small part" of the ancient wetland ecosystem. Tram Chim National Park -Ramsar area is of international importance, ranking 2,000th in the world and 4th in Vietnam. Tram Chim National Park attracts many tourists because of its beautiful natural landscape and rare red-crowned crane and many other plants and animals in the Red Book. This article outlines the potentials, current status, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and challenges in ecological tourism development. On that basis, propose some orientations and solutions to promote ecotourism development in Tram Chim National Park in the next time.

Wetland protected areas (WPA) are among the most productive natural environments providing substantial socio-economic bene ts to humans as well as habitat for numerous species. However, they are also highly vulnerable in the Anthropocene era due to various factors of population growth, unsustainable productions, climate change, etc. Assessing the land cover change of WPA and its driving force are necessary work for the sustainable development and management of WPA. Here, we investigated vegetation as an indicator for land cover changes in WPA because of its strong interaction with governance system and external related ecosystem of WPA, such as water resources, nutrient cycle, etc. Along with the change of vegetation, we examine how climate change contributes to WPA change and human management. With the complication of research tasks, social-ecological system (SES) approach was applied with three main elements: resource system (vegetation covers); external related ecosystems (climate change) and Governance system (wetland management) and their interactions through Ecological performance (Outcome). We contribute to the lack of temporary SES research in the coverage of External Related Ecosystems in the relation to Resource systems and Governance systems. The selected site is the rst Ramsar site of Vietnam Mekong Delta -Tram Chim National Park (TCNP) which is located at the exit of the Mekong River ow into Vietnam's territory. The study used a mixed methodology with the Mann-Kendall rank test, Theil-Sen estimative method, and the Mann-Whitney-Pettit method to analyze trends of climate parameters in from 1978 to 2019. Besides, the wetland vegetation changes were detected by the analysis of Satellite images based on the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) from 2002 to 2020.We also used Public Participation Geographic Information Systems (PPGIS) and did desk review of local reports and previous research for local disaster timeline and governance system. The results show that climate in TCNP has a signi cant change with an increase in both temperature and rainfall in the dry season. However, a decrease of NDVI dynamics and an extension of lowland vegetation community are dominated trends of spatiotemporal change of vegetation. With SES approach, we indicated that climate change is not a main driver but is always perceived as an increased risk for biodiversity conservation of WPA. Consequently, maladaptive actions and regulations from governance system have been implemented, which can threaten to sustainable development of WPA. Therefore, this study contributes a more comprehensive viewpoint to conservation and adaptive management of WPA.
