The Casecnan Protected Landscape is a protected area in the Casecnan River watershed of eastern Luzon in the Philippines. It has a total area of 88,846.80 hectares (219,545.2 acres) straddling the provinces of Nueva Vizcaya, Quirino and Aurora.[1] The 57,930-hectare (143,100-acre) Casecnan River Watershed Forest Reserve was established in August 1987 by virtue of Executive Order No. 136 issued by President Corazon Aquino.[2] In April 2000, the forest reserve was enlarged to 88,846.80 hectares (219,545.2 acres) and was reclassified as a protected landscape area through Proclamation No. 289.[3] It is considered one of the last remaining substantial water sources for the region of Central Luzon.[2]
