The project is worth around VND7.368 billion (US$345 million), with 71.2% of the amount (or VND5,247 billion) to be mobilized from society and the remainder to be covered by the State budget.
The park will cover over 1,155 hectares in Ky Phu and Phu Long communes, Nho Quan district.
The general objective of the park is to rescue, conserve, store and develop the sources of genes of wild animal species, particularly endangered, rare and precious animals, for scientific research, environmental education and ecological tourism as well as creating more jobs and reducing poverty sustainably for local people.
