Lò Gò-Xa Mát National Park is a national park in the Southeast region of Vietnam, approximately 30km (20miles) from the city of Tây Ninh.[1] It was established by upgrading the status of the former Lò Gò-Xa Mát Nature Reserve. After receiving national park status in 2002, the park was expanded in 2020 to cover an area of 30022ha.[2] [3]
It is the largest single forested area in Tây Ninh Province, and 177 species of birds and ten mammal species have been confirmed to live in the park boundaries.[4] Biomes include broadleaf tropical forests, and seasonally flooded grasslands.
