As a glacial refugia, the forests covering the valleys và mountain tops of the Annamites acted as an evolutionary laboratory, creating a myriad of unique life forms và breathtaking landscapes.One of the largest contiguous natural forest areas in continental Southeast Asia, the 10,858 km2 of core forest is home to rare and endemic species that are found nowhere else in the world. Although the Annamites were degraded during the last century — in the last 30 years, forest degradation has declined compared to lớn other forested areas in the region. The central Annamite landscape is characterized by mature secondary forest và patches of primary wet evergreen forest.

Hunting pressures in the Annamites have historically been very high, but the snaring crisis that is sweeping through Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia has decimated the ground-dwelling wildlife.
Over 120,000 snares were removed from the Hue and Quang phái mạnh Saola Reserves alone from 2011 to lớn 2019. Most of the snaring is not done to provide food for subsistence, but to generate profit, with high value wildlife being sold for the luxury meat and traditional medicine markets. Also, snares kill & maim wildlife indiscriminately. Due to the thousands of snares set covering large areas in difficult terrain, many animals caught in the snares are never retrieved from the snares and eaten, or sold. In recent years, deforestation and logging have also led khổng lồ the degradation of much of the remaining habitat, dealing another blow to lớn the quality wildlife of the Annamites.
WWF works to tackle snaring and improve wildlife habitat in three protected areas in Viet nam giới (Hue và Quang nam Saola Nature Reserves và Bach Ma National Park) và in one protected area và adjacent forest in Laos (Xe Sap National Protected Area & the Palé watershed protection forest).
