| Summary: | Bird watching ecotourism is highly-responsible and educative kind of nature tourism
which helps conserve natural environment and culture values of the local area, develop communit y
and bring about remarkable economic benefits. Birds are seen ever ywhere but especially found
with many species in nature reserves and national parks. There are 30 National Parks, 67 Nature
Reserves, more than 50 Bird Sanctuaries in Vietnam, and more 16 Marine Protected Area are
planned to be established until 2015, which has great potentials to develop bird watching
ecotourism. In order to develop this tourism model in nature reserve, it is necessary to improve
personnel’s capability and to set up database for identifying wild birds in each area. Conserving
precious and specific bird species, characteristic communities for habitats plays an important role
in attracting tourists to Vietnam for bird watching. Some database in analyzing bioacoustics in
some speci fic wind season tropical forests in Vietnam are presented in this paper such as Orange-bellied leafbird, Silver-eared mesia and Indian cuckoo. |
