The Ninoy Aquino Parks and Wildlife Center (NAPWC) lies in the heart of Quezon City. It serves as an oasis in a highly urbanized environment where various species of flora and fauna can be found. The 22.7-hectare NAPWC is under the management and administration of the Biodiversity Management Bureau (BMB), a staff bureau of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), responsible for managing the country’s Protected Area System and providing directions for the conservation of the nation’s biodiversity. Its offices are integrated into the overall landscape of the Park.
The NAPWC envisions being a world-class ecotourism destination and a venue for biodiversity conservation and education on Philippine endemic and rare wild flora and fauna. Its mission is to provide a broad spectrum of outdoor recreational and ecotourism opportunities with areas to play, appreciate nature, and gain delightful experiences. All year round, the Park becomes the venue for various educational, scientific, civil, religious, and recreational activities, as well as orchid shows, garden and science fairs, as it provides facilities conducive to such events.
