Known all over the world as the Philippines last ecological frontier, the province of Palawan is the habitat of enormous tracts of tropical rainforest and a huge expanse of marine wilderness. Thick canopies of trees carpet mountain ranges running the length of the mainland. Fringing reefs and coral atoll open a new empire to discover under the clear waters surrounding this archipelago of more than 1,700 tropical Islands. Journey of streams and rivers wind through the mountains, nurturing vigorous stands of mangrove in the lowlands before flowing out to the sea. Palawan possibly has more protected areas than any other province in the Philippines. In the northern Calamianes Island, the Calauit Wildlife Sanctuary is a home to exotic and endemic species of animals that roam freely in its lush hills and plains. On the northern coastline, the El Nido Marine Reserve is renowned for its edible birds nests and limestone cliffs. In the middle of the Sulu Sea, you will discover the Tubbataha reefs, a pair of coral atolls known for its highly diverse collection of fishes and other marine life. Ursula Island in the south is a haven for migratory and resident birds.
