STO. NIŇO BIODIVERSITY CENTER














Sto. Niño Biodiversity Center is located in Barangay Sto. Niño, Pili, Camarines Sur. The biodiversity center was established in 2011 during the launching of the El Verde in February 23. As a show of support to the environmental movement, the late President Benigno Aquino III planted a kamagong seedling (Diospyros philippinensis) inside the biodiversity center.

It covers 17 hectares of land with nature trail. The manmade forest is home to 56 native and premium native species of trees. The biodiversity center is now being developed into a learning farm to provide students taking forestry and dendrology courses a place to enrich and practice their learning.
