Here at Cuc Phuong there are several conservation agencies and organizations. Visitors are welcome to tour those facilities which are open to the public.

Visitor's Center

Cuc Phuong's Visitor Center introduces you to some of the park's valuable natural resources and its unique environment. It aims to increase the conservation awareness of visitors and is of particular value to students.

Endangered Primate Rescue Center (EPRC)

One of the highlights of Cuc Phuong is the EPRC. The highly successful center has approximately 120 primates in breeding programs. There are currently 15 different species and subspecies of Gibbons and Langurs on site, including several living in huge forested enclosures.
Open daily: 9:00 - 11:00 a.m. and 13:30 - 16:00 p.m.
EPRC opens every half hour

Small Carnivore Conservation

The national park has also worked in the field of small carnivore conservation for the last 10 years. The rescue and international breeding program for the rare Owston's Civet is currently expanding into a nation-wide program for civets, weasels, otters and cats, rescued from the wildlife trade.
Not open to the general public.

Turtle Conservation Center (TCC)

The Turtle Conservation Center (TCC) of Cuc Phuong National Park is a rescue facility for turtles confiscated from the wildlife trade. The center houses 16 species, many of which are now considered endanged, and like the carnivore centre, it is involved in awareness raising, student and ranger training.
Tours can be arranged.

Botanical Gardens

Cuc Phuong's Botanical Garden preserves gene resources and rare plants, forming a semi-wild, protected enclosure for wildlife release programs. It is the perfect place for a walk, especially early in the morning. While strolling in the gardens, you can listen to Gibbons and birds singing at dawn.
