Buenavista Protected Landscape, Nature reserve in Bondoc Peninsula, Philippines
The Buenavista Protected Landscape spans 284 hectares of secondary-growth forest, grassland, and coconut land near Mount Maclayao in Quezon province.
President Manuel L. Quezon designated this area for watershed protection and timber production in 1937, followed by its protected status declaration in 2000.
Archaeological investigations uncovered 15 limestone coffins from the 10th to 14th century, along with ancient canal drainage systems and artifacts at Mount Maclayao.
The reserve contains multiple waterways including Mulanay River, Taisan Creek, and Mahanao Creek, which flow into the Sibuyan Sea through varied terrain.
The grasslands feature cogon and talahib plants, while the area serves as habitat for monitor lizards, wild cats, hornbills, and numerous migratory bird species.
