The Southern Annamites montane rain forests ecoregion (WWF ID: IM0152) covers a region of high biodiversity in the central and southern mountains of the Annamite Range in Vietnam. Terrain ranges from wet lowland forest to evergreen hardwood and conifer montane rain forest.[2][3][1] There is a short dry season centered on January–February, but fog and dew are common throughout the year and support a lush forest character.
