Cat Tien National Park is located in southern Vietnam. The park is one of the most secure in the country, in terms of its capacity to protect biodiversity. The park and its surrounding area contain one of the two largest populations of southern yellow-cheeked gibbons (Rawson et al. 2011). Due to its remarkable biological diversity, the park was listed by UNESCO as the 411th biosphere Reserve Zone in the world in 2001 ([https://whc.unesco.org/en/tentativelists/5070/ UNESCO).

There are at least 300 gibbon groups in just two areas: Bu Gia Map National Park and Cat Tien National Park and their respective surrounding forests (Rawson et al. 2011). At Cat Tien National Park, the population is supplemented by gibbons in Dong Nai Nature Reserve and adjacent state forest enterprises. The first population estimates were made until surveys were conducted in 2004-2005. In this census, 149 groups were detected at an estimated density of 0.52 (±0.47) to 0.72 (±0.08) groups km2 (Rawson et al. 2011). Based on the raw data of Kenyon (2007), the total population of the park may exceed 300 groups (derived by applying a correction factor of 0.92 to Kenyon’s raw counts, and re-calculating gibbon density assuming a 1.5 km listening radius and stratified by park sector) (Rawson et al. 2011).

There is a demand for captive gibbons, many of which are sourced from Cat Tien, Dong Nai Nature Reserve, and surrounding forests (Rawson et al. 2011). Every live gibbon in captivity represents many gibbons killed in the process. Based on interviews with traders, at least 24 gibbons were traded in Dong Nai Province in 2007-2008, which were sourced from Cat Tien NP and Dong Nai NR (Rawson et al. 2011). Habitat loss and degradation are also main threats impacting southern yellow-cheeked gibbons in Cat Tien. Agricultural encroachment and illegal logging have resulted in reduced availability of habitat, connectivity between forest blocks, and availability of food trees (Rawson et al. 2011).

Summary

Loading map...
  • Southern yellow-cheeked gibbons (Nomascus gabriellae) are present in Cat Tien National Park.
  • It has been estimated that a minimum population of 149 groups occurs in the park.
  • The gibbon population trend is unknown.
  • The site has a total size of 738.8 km².
  • Key threats to gibbons are agricultural encroachment, logging, and the illegal pet trade.
  • Conservation activities have focused on boundary demarcation, awareness raising, and release of confiscated gibbons.

Site characteristics

Cat Tien National Park is located in southern Vietnam. The park is one of the most secure in the country, in terms of its capacity to protect biodiversity. The park and its surrounding area contain one of the two largest populations of southern yellow-cheeked gibbons (Rawson et al. 2011). Due to its remarkable biological diversity, the park was listed by UNESCO as the 411th biosphere Reserve Zone in the world in 2001 ([https://whc.unesco.org/en/tentativelists/5070/ UNESCO).

Ape status

There are at least 300 gibbon groups in just two areas: Bu Gia Map National Park and Cat Tien National Park and their respective surrounding forests (Rawson et al. 2011). At Cat Tien National Park, the population is supplemented by gibbons in Dong Nai Nature Reserve and adjacent state forest enterprises. The first population estimates were made until surveys were conducted in 2004-2005. In this census, 149 groups were detected at an estimated density of 0.52 (±0.47) to 0.72 (±0.08) groups km2 (Rawson et al. 2011). Based on the raw data of Kenyon (2007), the total population of the park may exceed 300 groups (derived by applying a correction factor of 0.92 to Kenyon’s raw counts, and re-calculating gibbon density assuming a 1.5 km listening radius and stratified by park sector) (Rawson et al. 2011).

Threats

There is a demand for captive gibbons, many of which are sourced from Cat Tien, Dong Nai Nature Reserve, and surrounding forests (Rawson et al. 2011). Every live gibbon in captivity represents many gibbons killed in the process. Based on interviews with traders, at least 24 gibbons were traded in Dong Nai Province in 2007-2008, which were sourced from Cat Tien NP and Dong Nai NR (Rawson et al. 2011). Habitat loss and degradation are also main threats impacting southern yellow-cheeked gibbons in Cat Tien. Agricultural encroachment and illegal logging have resulted in reduced availability of habitat, connectivity between forest blocks, and availability of food trees (Rawson et al. 2011).

Category Specific threats Threat level Quantified severity Description Year of threat
1. Residential & commercial development 1.1 Housing & urban areas Present, but threat severity unknown Ongoing infrastructure development in and around the area is reducing the size and quality of gibbon habitat and is increasing access for hunters (Rawson et al. 2011). Ongoing (2011)
2. Agriculture & aquaculture 2.1 Annual & perennial non-timber crops High Large areas within the park are zoned as agricultural land where park management has no authority; shifting cultivation is also present (Rawson et al. 2011). Ongoing (2011)
3. Energy production & mining Unknown
4. Transportation & service corridors Unknown
5. Biological resource use 5.3 Logging & wood harvesting High Some illegal logging occurs at the site; most of the park has been commercially logged (Rawson et al. 2011). Ongoing (2011)
6. Human intrusion & disturbance Unknown
7. Natural system modifications Unknown
8. Invasive & other problematic species, genes, diseases Unknown
9. Pollution Unknown
10. Geological Events Absent
11. Climate change & severe weather Unknown
12. Other options 12.1 Other threat Medium Capture of gibbons for illegal pet trade. Gibbons are caught by shooting mothers who fall clutching their infants. If they survive the fall, the infants are taken (Rawson et al. 2011). Ongoing (2011)
