Masungi Georeserve, Protected conservation area in Baras, Philippines

The limestone formation within Masungi Georeserve extends across the southern Sierra Madre range, featuring karst peaks and montane rainforests at 640 meters elevation point.

The area was designated as part of Mariquina Watershed Reservation in 1904 and transformed into a conservation project in 1996 to protect the geological formations.

The name Masungi derives from the local word masungki, reflecting the pointed limestone formations that characterize the geological landscape of the reserve.

Visitors explore the conservation area through guided tours on suspended bridges, platforms, and rope courses, with each trek lasting between three to four hours.

The reserve houses the only known population of Hypselostoma latispira masungiensis, a microsnail subspecies discovered on the limestone formations in 2017.
