Cat Tien Waterhole Clearing

A Forest-Edge Clearing

This fixed camera looks across a broad grassy opening where the tree line of Cat Tien National Park gives way to open ground. A patch of bare earth near the tree line forms a natural watering hole, drawing thirsty animals out of the dense canopy cover.

Wildlife on the Move

Cat Tien is one of Vietnam's most important wildlife refuges, home to deer, wild boar, civets, and a long list of birds and reptiles. This clearing is a favored crossing point, and patient viewers are often rewarded with a glimpse of animals stepping cautiously into the open at the forest's edge.

Part of a Conservation Network

The feed is one of several fixed monitoring cameras deployed across the park to support conservation research and public awareness, each trained on a different corner of this UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.

A Protected Landscape

Straddling the Đồng Nai River in southern Vietnam, Cat Tien protects one of the last substantial blocks of lowland tropical forest in the region, sheltering rare and endangered species within its mosaic of grassland and jungle.
