Northern Negros Natural Park

Northern Negros Natural Park extends across 80,454 hectares of mountainous forest terrain, containing four major river systems that supply water to seventeen municipalities.

The area was first designated as a forest reserve in 1935 through Administrative Act 789, signed by Governor-General Frank Murphy with an initial coverage of 107,727 hectares.

The park maintains critical habitats for native flora and fauna within the Negros-Panay Biogeographic Region, supporting multiple endemic species of the Philippine archipelago.

Northern Negros Natural Park lies 40 kilometers east-northeast of Bacolod city, spanning across five municipalities and six cities within the Negros Occidental province.

The protected area contains old-growth forests at elevations above 1,000 meters, featuring Mount Mandalagan and Mount Silay as prominent geographical formations.
