Students had opportunities to study about the habitat
In addition to studying about the ecosystem, the field trip raised the students’ awareness of conserving rare species. The Can Gio Mangrove Biosphere Reserve has 03 sanctuaries for special species: the Vam Sat Bird Sanctuary, the Dam Doi Bat Sanctuary, and the Dao Khi Monkey Sanctuary. Many rare flora and fauna in the Vietnam Red List (2007) also live here, such as Lumnitzera littorea and Azima sarmentosa.
