For the first time, people began to think about the preservation of nature in this area at the beginning of the last century. At that time, French colonists lived in central Vietnam, who decided to engage in environmental protection activities. In 1932, a tourist center was organized here, which existed only until 1954. As a result, these lands were abandoned by the colonists, and for many years no one cared about them. In 1986, the Vietnamese government organized conservation activities here and declared Mount Bat'ma a national reserve. Today, about 1,700 species of plants grow in the park, of which 430 are medicinal, and 83 species are – included in the Red Book. The fauna of the park is also very rich and varied.
