About
Standing as Mindanao's proud UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Mount Hamiguitan Range Wildlife Sanctuary in Davao Oriental is one of the most ecologically diverse protected areas in the Philippines. Spanning across San Isidro, Governor Generoso, and Mati City, Mount Hamiguitan is renowned for its iconic 1,200-hectare Pygmy Forest—a surreal landscape of centuries-old bonsai trees growing on ultramafic soil. Serving as a crucial habitat for endangered endemic flora and fauna like the Philippine Eagle, Nepenthes hamiguitanensis (pitcher plant), and the Golden Crowned Flying Fox, Mount Hamiguitan offers a rare look at a pristine ecosystem preserved through strict conservation efforts.
