The National Parks in Vietnam () are officially recognized by the Government of Vietnam through decrees. Normally, the national parks located in the territory of multiple provinces and cities are managed by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, while the national parks located within the boundary of a province or city are managed by the People's Committee of the province or of the city.
The national parks in Vietnam, stretching from the Northern borders to the Southern remote islands, are set up in order to protect the natural ecosystems, flora and fauna, diverse natural landscapes, such as the subtropical rain forests, in Phia Oắc-Phia ÃÂén, the sub-alpine subtropical forests, the evergreen tropical forests to the coastal mangrove forests of Xuân Thá»§y, Cát BÃÂ, and Mà ©i CàMau, and the melaleuca forests on peat in U Minh Thðợng and U Minh Hạ.
Currently, Vietnam has 34 national parks. Cúc Phðáng is the first national park and was established in 1966 in the area of 3 provinces: Ninh Bình, Thanh Hóa and Hòa Bình. Meanwhile, the latest national park established is Song Thanh (), setup on December 18, 2020, located in Quảng Nam province. Phong NhaâÂÂKẻ Bàng is the national park with the largest area, while the mangrove forests in Xuân Thá»§y National Park are the national park with the smallest area.
Phong NhaâÂÂKẻ Bàng is the only national park in Vietnam recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site (since 2003). In addition, part of Bái Tá» Long National Park is also included in the World Heritage Site of Hạ Long Bay. Some other national parks are also on the tentative list of UNESCO Heritage sites, such as Cát Tiên and Cát BàNational Parks on Cát BàIsland, as well as Ba Bá» National Park which is a part of the Ba Bá»Â-Na Hang Natural Heritage site. Another proposed heritage site of Vietnam is Con Moong Cave located in Cúc Phðáng National Park (already on the list).
