The Northern Negros Natural Park is a protected area of the Philippines located in the northern mountainous forest region of the island of Negros in the Visayas. It is spread over five municipalities and six cities in the province of Negros Occidental and is the province's largest watershed and water source for seventeen municipalities and cities including the Bacolod metropolitan area.[1] The park was established first as a forest reserve spanning 107,727 hectares (266,200 acres) on 28 April 1935 through Administrative Act No. 789 signed by Governor-General Frank Murphy.[2] On 7 August 1946, the Northern Negros Forest Reserve was reduced to its present area of 80,454.5 hectares (198,807 acres) with the signing of Proclamation No. 798 by President Manuel Roxas.[2][3] In 2005, the protected area was converted into a natural park under the National Integrated Protected Areas System (NIPAS) Act by virtue of Proclamation No. 895 signed by President Gloria Arroyo.[3]
