Cat Tien National Park Grassland - Dong Nai, Vietnam

This live camera is positioned in the open grassland buffer zone of Cat Tien National Park in Dong Nai Province, southern Vietnam, monitored by the Katien AI Sentinel system which runs continuous thermal and motion detection to identify species and analyse herd behaviour in real time. The camera shows rehabilitated herbivores including sambar deer reintegrating into wild grazing patterns across seasonal floodplain grasslands that serve as a transition zone between captivity and full wild release.

Cat Tien National Park covers 72,000 hectares across three provinces and was designated a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 2001, protecting one of the last remaining lowland tropical rainforest ecosystems in Vietnam. The park is home to over 1,500 plant species, 350 bird species, and critically endangered mammals including the Javan rhinoceros, which was declared locally extinct in 2011 when the last individual was found poached within the park boundaries.

The grassland areas visible in this feed are actively managed as recovery zones, with land cleared and maintained to support primary consumers whose grazing activity in turn supports the park's broader predator and scavenger populations. Cat Tien sits 150 kilometres north of Ho Chi Minh City and receives around 2,500 millimetres of rainfall annually, producing the seasonal flooding that creates and renews the floodplain grasslands visible in this camera.

Did You Know? Cat Tien was the last known habitat of the Javan rhinoceros in Vietnam until 2011, when the species was declared locally extinct after the final individual was found shot by poachers inside the national park boundary.
