Travel Blog: Danjugan Island
Added to website: 26 February 2007
Travel Blog is a collection of travel journals, diaries and photos from around the world. Designed for travellers, this site includes features that allow you to update friends and family on your adventure. Danjugan Island in the Philippines is featured on this website.
For over 15 years, CCC joined forces with the award-winning Philippine Reef and Rainforest Conservation Foundation Inc (PRRCFI) to survey and safeguard Danjugan Island. The island is fringed with turtle-nesting beaches and surrounded by diverse coral reefs.
Here is just a little taster Carlo Libosada Jr’s experience of Danjugan…
“After more than 15 years of advocating ecotourism in the Philippines, I finally found a TRUE ecolodge. And it is located in a small and special island in Negros Occidental.
Danjugan is only about 43 hectares in size. But it has coastal lagoons, fringing reefs, great dive and snorkeling sites, good forest cover and trails, a bat cave(!), and a nesting pair of sea eagles!
The island used to be the laboratory of the Coral Cay Conservation based in the UK. They brought with them paying volunteers to participate in the studies of the marine resources in the area. The site is also a marine protected area and it got the distinction of getting an award as the best managed coral reef in the country in 2002.
Danjugan is a real nature-dreamer’s paradise. I made a very good decision to spend some time on the island.”
