That is the 8th Ramsar of Vietnam

Lovely, how deep is the water? Does Vietnam have dangerous wildlife in their waterways?

No, no alligators or crocs if thats what you are thinking.

In places like that the water is not deep, but in the main rivers it is.

Why you are so sure ?

"Tram Chim"

Ha! That is exactly what I was thinking i.e. Salt water crocs, South East Asia is teeming with the horrors! I know from visiting the Philippines you need to be very careful.

I don't remember ever hearing anything about that, so I think its safe.

Thailand have them, but Vietnam and Cambodia, never heard anything about that.

Just checked, no crocs in Vietnam, from wiki:
The saltwater crocodile was historically known to be widespread throughout Southeast Asia, but is now extinct throughout much of this range. This species has not been reported in the wild for decades in most of Indochina and is extinct in Thailand,[58] Laos,[59] Vietnam,[60] and possibly Cambodia.[61] The status of this species is critical within much of Myanmar, but a stable population of many large adults is present in the Irrawaddy Delta.[62] Probably, the only country in Indochina still harbouring wild populations of this species is Myanmar.[63] Although saltwater crocodiles were once very common in the Mekong Delta (from where they disappeared in the 1980s) and other river systems, the future of this species in Indochina is now looking grim. However, it is also the least likely of crocodilians to become globally extinct due to its wide distribution and almost precolonial population sizes in Northern Australia and New Guinea.

Actually, Thailand have some here and there as I've seen in the news. They also have many croc farms and sometimes they escape like when there is flooding.

No no
You could find it easily by the name, "Tram Chim" including Chim = bird,
"Dong Nai" with Dong = field and Nai = Deer
how about the "Bau Sau" which Sau is Crocodile, Bau is Pond or Lake

Are these all captivity right? No wild ones?

a group of 40 Delacour's langur primates just discovered in the jungles of Vietnam, one of the most endangered species in the world.

I'm not sure about that.
Btw, they are in different location, not in U Minh Thuong ramsar

Look at the boats in U Minh Thuong, they aren't armed with steel nets
