Magapit Protected Landscape, Protected landscape in Cagayan Valley, Philippines
The Magapit Protected Landscape spans 3,403 hectares of forested limestone hills and grasslands between the municipalities of Lal-lo and Gattaran in northern Luzon.
President Manuel Roxas established this area as a game refuge and bird sanctuary in 1947, initially protecting 4,554 hectares of natural terrain.
The protected zone contains the Lal-lo and Gattaran Shell Middens, archaeological sites proposed for recognition as a World Heritage location.
