		The key conservation features of Ngoc Linh (Quang Nam) proposed nature reserve are the undisturbed, montane habitat types, and the large number of endemic and globally threatened species: 16 globally threatened plant species, seven globally threatened mammal species and three globally threatened bird species are known from the proposed nature reserve.
		In addition, Ngoc Linh (Quang Nam) protects the recently discovered endemic mammal, Truong Son Muntjac Muntiacus truongsonensis, which is currently known from only two other protected areas in Vietnam.
