Protecting biodiversity, regenerating ecosystems

Where tourism helps forests grow back

At Núi Tượng, economic activity and ecosystem restoration aren’t opposites — they’re partners.

Stone Hill Farm and Cát Tiên National Park form a living landscape of learning. Guests, students, and local farmers all step into the same story: degraded land becoming healthy again, endangered species finding protection, and communities discovering that caring for forests can also support their livelihoods.

Regenerating land, one field at a time

At Stone Hill Farm, guests witness forest regeneration in action. They learn how degraded land transforms back into thriving ecosystems through sustainable agroforestry.

Participants discover cacao cultivation that works with nature, not against it — creating forest canopy while producing crops. Hands-on workshops teach organic product making: natural skincare, toothpaste, vegan pâté, and plant-based yogurt.

Guests even feed goats that play a role in sustainable farm management, closing loops between animals, soil, and crops.

Learning inside a living forest

We partner with Cát Tiên National Park to bring students and visitors into protected forests where they learn about endangered species conservation.

Our programs focus on critically endangered freshwater turtles — teaching why these species matter and how local communities can protect them. Students participate in reforestation projects, planting over 150 native trees alongside forest rangers.

Along the way, they learn to identify rare species like ancient red-wood trees and understand the interconnected web of forest life.

We’re demonstrating that economic activity and ecosystem restoration can grow together. Every visitor learns practical sustainable agriculture techniques they can apply at home or in their communities. Local farmers gain income from regenerative practices, proving conservation pays. Stone Hill Farm serves as a living laboratory where biodiversity protection becomes tangible, not theoretical — a place where tourism helps forests, wildlife, and people all thrive.
