The 22.7-hectare Ninoy Aquino Parks and Wildlife Center (NAPWC) was proclaimed as a Protected Area in 2004 by the virtue of Proclamation No. 723.
NAPWC is under the management and administration of the Biodiversity Management Bureau, a staff bureau of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
It envisions to be a world-class ecotourism destination and a venue for biodiversity conservation and education on Philippine endemic and rare wild flora and fauna. With its mission to provide a broad spectrum of outdoor recreational and ecotourism opportunities in a highly urbanized environment, with areas to play, appreciate the nature and gain delightful experience; and where one can also learn about Philippine wildlife and nature conservation, NAPWC continuously aims to fulfill its goals and objectives for the betterment of the Park.
