Northern Negros Natural Park

Northern Negros Natural Park is a protected forest covering mountainous terrain in Negros Occidental province. The area is crossed by four major river systems that provide water to nearby communities and towns.

The area was first protected as a forest reserve in 1935, though its boundaries have changed over time. Today it remains an important conservation area for the region.

The park protects rare plant and animal species found only in the Philippines, playing an important role in preserving local biodiversity. People in nearby towns depend on its forests for water and natural resources that support their way of life.

The terrain is mountainous and requires good fitness for hiking and exploring the forest. Visitors should be prepared for wet conditions, as the area receives heavy rainfall throughout the year.

The park contains dense forests at higher elevations above 1000 meters where rare species thrive in their natural habitat. These high-altitude zones remain less visited and offer a different view of the region's natural character.
