From December 18 to 20, 2024, the Management Board of Ba Bể National Park hosted and worked with a delegation from the Perlis State Government, Malaysia, who visited to learn, explore, and study at Ba Bể National Park.
The purpose of the visit was to explore approaches to management, operations, and sustainable development strategies implemented by Ba Bể National Park. The delegation examined solutions undertaken at the park, community involvement in nature conservation and biodiversity efforts, as well as the development of eco-tourism in the area. Official discussions were held between the delegation and the Management Board of Ba Bể National Park to understand the park’s biodiversity values, its programs and activities, and the methodologies applied to achieve recognition as an ASEAN Heritage Park (AHP). The discussions also covered the integration of the park into national and regional conservation networks.
