LOCATION   Mt. Canlaon Volcano (2,465-m)-  is located in the north-central highlands of the island of Negros, more than three-quarters of its entire area being in the Province of Occidental Negros, in the Western Visayas Region (Region-6).  Geographically, the mountain lies at 10 degrees North latitude, and 123 degrees East longitude. The mountain is easily accessible by overland transport vehicles, coming from any of the nearby major cities and municipalities of the Province.	.
MT. CANLAON NATURAL PARK   Covering an entire area of roughly 25,000-hectares of lush tropical jungles, the wide expanse of the Mt. Canlaon range was declared a National Park in 1938 for aesthetics, scientific interest, and educational purposes.  Today, Mt. Canlaon Natural Park is one of the few remaining patches of tropical forests found on the island of Negros where wildlife- both flora and fauna, still abound. Ornithologically, the Park is home to a number of endemics, in particular, the Negros Bleeding Heart Pigeon, and the Negros Fruit Dove which, unfortunately, has not been since for awhile and is believed to have already gone extinct.   CANLAON  VOLCANO   Considered as the "sacred volcano" of sugarlandia, Canlaon Volcano is the prominent feature of the 25,000-hectare Mt. Canlaon Natural Park- and rising to an elevation of about 2,465-m, becomes the highest peak in the whole of Central Philippines, and the 9th highest in the country. Classified as a strato-volcanic type, Mt. Canlaon is one of the 13 most active volcanic mountains in the Philippines, and had claimed the lives of 3 climbers in one of its recent eruptions in August 1996.	.
