This national park is the only place in the world where one can find the biggest remaining population of the tamaraw (Bubalus mindorensis). It features Mt. Baco (2,488 metres above sea level) and Mt. Iglit or “Fungso Mangibok” (2,364 metres above sea level), where the most number of tamaraws roam.
The Mangyan is the dominant indigenous group in the area; they depend directly on Mts. Iglit-Baco for their food and livelihood.
Unique Flora: Though dominated by grasslands, unique species include the Mindoro pine (Pinus merkusii), and the endangered Jade vine.
