Explore Panay Island
About the region
To the South-West, Panay faces the Sulu sea, where the World Heritage listed Tubbataha Reef is found, in the centre of the Coral Triangle - the world’s most important region for marine biodiversity. Beyond the Sulu sea lays Borneo.
Panay is home to extraordinary threatened species of plants and animals, such as Walden’s hornbill, the Negros bleeding heart dove, the Visayan warty pig and the Philippine spotted deer. The island supports diverse vegetation types, including tropical rainforests, montane forests, mangroves, grasslands and heath, and its western half is dominated by the striking and extensively forested central Panay Mountain range. Panay is an exquisite representation of the natural heritage and biodiversity of the Philippines archipelago.
Critical conservation issues on Panay include the need to protect the tropical rainforests of the slopes of the Panay Mountains, and to ensure for the protection of the coastal landscapes and marine diversity of the surrounding coastal waters and reefs.
