  Tamaraw Conservation Program
           
 

The Tamaraw (Bubalus mindorenis) is the largest land mammal in the country and one of the most critically endangered species in the world. Found only on the Island of Mindoro, the Tamaraw is historically known to occur in the ranges of Mt. Halcon-Eagle Pass (Oriental & Occidental Mindoro), Mts. Iglit-Baco National Park (Oriental and Occidental Mindoro), F.B. Harrison Game Refuge and Bird Sanctuary (Occidental Mindoro), and Mt. Calavite Wildlife Sanctuary (Occidental Mindoro).

 The project started in 1988 to conserve, protect and manage the Tamaraw.
