Apo Reef Natural Park

Apo Reef Natural Park and other dive sites in Sablayan is currently getting better attention from concerned agencies of our government. The ban on fishing within Apo Reef has incidentally diminshed, some fishermen source of livelihood. Fortunately, eco-tourism could help compensate and hopefully sustain a moreecologically responsible system of use for this natural parks. The Southern Tagalog Tourism Council will hold a conference here in Sablayan to help promote Occ. Mindoro as a new adventure destination. Prior to that, October being Tamaraw Conservation Month would also be an opportune time to sample the biodiversity of Mt. Iglit-Baco Nature Park. The weather during this month tends to be calmer.

During this "ber" months Bird Watching within Sablayan Penal Colony where Mt. Siburan (primary forest) and Lake Libao has been getting good reviews from both international and local asian enthuse. The interaction between tourist and local people is like a shot in the arm. It surely cures a lot of problems of conservation.
