Abstract

Kon Ka Kinh National Park is distributed in the core zone of the Kon Ha Nung Plateau Biosphere Reserve. From the perspective of landscape research, besides biological values, this area also has geological, geomorphological, and cultural potentials. The article is based on the method of document review, field survey, map, and geographic information system, especially biodiversity statistics on 77 standard plots. The study shows the biological value of Kon Ka Kinh National Park, with prominently mixed broad-leaved vegetation, several endemic and unique tree species, several rare species of birds, and primates such as Garrulax konkakinhensis, Pygathrix cinerea... The geological and geomorphological values are characterized by the interaction between ancient and current formations distributed within the Kon Tum Massif... The typical tangible and intangible cultural values of the Ba Na ethnic are associated with the use and conservation of forest resources.
