8,888 acres each year in 2025 & 2026

Biodiversity:
The proposed project area is a vital habitat for threatened and endemic species. It is home to critically endangered species such as Philippine Eagle, Pink-bellied imperial pigeon, Blue-naped parrot, Philippine Hanging Parrot, and Amethyst Brown Dove along with 2 endangered species Rufous hornbill and Philippine eagle owl. The area also contains endemic flora, including the Critically Endangered Yakal-kaliot, Coral Plant, Kaniuing Peneras tree, and Lady Slipper orchids.

Habitat type:
The project site is covered by a forest type ranging from Tropical Lower to Upper Montane Rain Forest and Tropical Lowland Evergreen RainForest, with species of dipterocarps, pines, ferns, orchids, and epiphytes.

Elevation:
160 – 1,783m above sea level

Location:
The project site holds high global significance for biodiversity and is classified as a Conservation Imperative Area, making it a priority site for protection. The project lies within two Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs), the Mt. Dingalan KBA and Aurora Memorial National Park (AMNP). This region faces threats from slash and burn agriculture, encroachment from agricultural and development activities into upland areas, unsustainable use of natural resources, and wildlife poaching.
