Ninoy Aquino Parks & Wildlife Center, Wildlife sanctuary and botanical garden in Quezon City, Philippines.
Ninoy Aquino Parks & Wildlife Center is a wildlife sanctuary and botanical garden in Mandaluyong with lagoons and habitats for native animals and plants. Walking paths lead through different landscape areas where visitors can explore the range of Philippine ecosystems.
The site began as Quezon Memorial Park in 1954 and was renamed in 1983 to honor Senator Benigno Aquino Jr. following his death. This change showed how the place became connected to important national events.
The Museum of Philippine Biodiversity shows visitors how protected areas and natural ecosystems are important to the islands. The exhibits help people understand the variety of local plants and animals and why they need protection.
The center has a Wildlife Rescue Center that takes in animals saved from illegal trade activities. Plan to walk on pathways and wear comfortable shoes to explore the different areas.
The site holds around 4,000 tree species, including roughly 100 kinds found only on the Philippine islands like ipil, kamagong, and narra trees. These trees are hard to find elsewhere and grow here in one place.
