Viet Nam is endowed with extraordinary biodiversity, with many types of ecosystems, species and genetic resources, which are rich and endemic. In Vietnam, biodiversity brings direct benefits to humans, contributing substantially to the national economy, especially sectors such as agriculture, forestry and fisheries; ensuring the food security for the country; maintaining genetic resources for farming animals and crops; providing construction materials, pharmaceutical materials and food. In addition, ecosystems play an important role in climate regulation and environmental protection. Biodiversity has also been a cultural and artistic inspiration to humanity for millennia. The research results show that hundreds of terrestrial and inland freshwater species new to science have been described for the first time in Vietnam, reflecting the high endemism of the biota. From 2006 to 2011 alone, over 100 species new to science were discovered and described for the first time in Vietnam, in particular there were 21 reptile species, 6 frog species and 1 ferret species. Many scientists believe that there are many other wildlife species in Vietnam still unknown, and the number of such known species may be much lower than the actual number of species in nature
