Although Cat Tien National Park suffered from chemical bombs during the Vietnam War, the forest has very much recovered. Today it is one of the few parks in Southeast Asia that still holds the near-extinct Javan rhinoceros. It also has some 360 species of birds, attracting bird watchers from all over the world. In addition, Cat Tien National Park has some 440 species of butterflies.
In addition to the natural heritage, Cat Tien National Park has been discovered to hold cultural relics. Archaeologists have uncovered evidence that it used to be a pilgrimage site during the Funan and Champa period, as ancient religious artifacts have been found there.
