Son Tra forest is now the habitat and residence of many different plants and animals. According to scientists, there are 985 plant species, 36 mammals, 106 bird species, 23 reptile species, 9 amphibian species and 113 insect species. Many of them are listed in the Vietnam Red Book as well as in the list of the World Association for Nature, including several species that are seriously threatened, typically red-shanked douc langur.

The exhibition 'Biodiversity conservation in Son Tra Nature Reserve' aims to educate perceptions about the dangers of wildlife in Son Tra and raise awareness of environmental protection among students.
