The central Truong Son landscape is the critical centre-pin for successful conservation of the Greater Annamites as it has characteristics of a transition zone between temperate
and tropical systems, and has a unique biodiversity value both within the Greater Annamites and globally. The central Truong Son (CTS) is situated in central Vietnam
