Covering a 41,780ha area, Kon Ka Kinh National Park is located in K’Bang, Dak Doa and Mang Yang districts, Gia Lai Province.
The park supports some of the most intact faunal and floral communities in the central Annamites, notably a number of globally threatened mammal species, including Grey-shanked douc, Yellow-cheeked crested gibbon and Tiger. The park is situated within the Kon Tum Plateau Endemic Bird Area, and supports six restricted-range bird species. One of these species, the globally vulnerable Chestnut-eared laughingthrush, which is endemic to the Kon Tum Plateau, was discovered at Kon Ka Kinh in 1999. For these reasons, Kon Ka Kinh qualifies as an Important Bird Area. The park is also a globally important site for the conservation of amphibian diversity. Kon Ka Kinh supports a number of amphibian species endemic to the Annamite mountains, including four species assessed as globally threatened during the Global Amphibian Assessment: Leptobrachium banae, L. xanthospilum, Rana attigua and Rhacophorus baliogaster.
