Casecnan Protected Landscape, Protected landscape in eastern Luzon, Philippines.

The Casecnan Protected Landscape spans 88,846 hectares across the provinces of Nueva Vizcaya, Quirino, and Aurora in the mountainous terrain of central Sierra Madre.

President Corazon Aquino established the Casecnan River Watershed Forest Reserve in 1987, which was later enlarged and reclassified as a protected landscape in 2000.

The protected area maintains connections with the Ilongot community who inhabit the surrounding regions and depend on the natural resources of the landscape.

The Casecnan River contributes to irrigation systems and generates 140 megawatts of hydroelectric power for the Luzon grid through its dam infrastructure.

The landscape shelters endangered species including the Philippine deer, Philippine eagle, cloud rat, hornbills, kingfishers, and Philippine warty pig within its boundaries.
