Palawan is the Philippines’ “Last Frontier,” a stunning archipelago of 1,700+ islands perfect for any adventure-seeker. It’s famous for its dramatic limestone karst landscapes, hidden turquoise lagoons, and a massive underground river that flows through a cave directly into the sea. Beyond the views, it’s a critical biodiversity hotspot, home to rare animals found nowhere else on Earth. Whether exploring the world-class reefs of the Coral Triangle or the lush mountain rainforests, Palawan is a real-world example of how we can protect wild, untouched nature through sustainability.
Project
Draw a picture of you and your family or friends visiting the island of Palawan.
Some islands are large and covered in forests, while others are just tiny dots of sand in the ocean.
It is home to one of the longest underground rivers in the world. You can actually take a boat deep inside a limestone cave to see where the river meets the sea!
Right down the middle of the main island is a “spine” of tall mountains. The highest one is Mount Mantalingajan, which is so tall it’s often hidden inside the clouds.
Palawan is located in the Coral Triangle. This is an area of the ocean that has more types of fish and coral than almost anywhere else on Earth—it’s like a giant, underwater city!
