The Palawan Butterfly Ecological Garden and Tribal Village is a one of its kind attraction that promotes public awareness by showcasing the beauty of the world of insects and the cultural background of the indigenous people of Palawan. The Palawan Butterfly Ecological Garden and Tribal Village is a place that reflects the mesmerising beauty of a province that is known as the "Last Frontier of the

Philippines". These free flying butterflies are surrounded with live exhibits of scorpions, green-crested lizards, phasmid and mantises which are considered their natural predators. Some added attractions are the rescued endemic wildlife of Palawan. These animals are given the chance of a second life by being rescued from poachers and wouldn't have survived in the wild because of the probability of suffering the same fate all over again. Like the Palawan Peacock Peasant and the Palawan Bearcat, these animals are now ambassadors of their own species in the wild. By educating the public about these wild yet gentle creatures, the facility promotes public awareness about how our actions as human beings can affect greatly everything in our environment. After a fulfilling exploration in the butterfly enclosure, you will step into the life of the native Palaw'an. Palaw'ans are only one of the many indigenous peoples of Palawan that have been living in the province for thousands of years. A few traits and trades have been preserved since younger generations are now adapting to modernisation. The tribal village is to preserve those remaining traits and trades and by its cultural sharing, visitors will get a rare chance to interact with these native people that still holds pure Palaw'an bloodline. Visitors will learn the Palaw'an way of hunting, survival, daily life and even the Palaw'an way of hanging out. At the end of the tour, visitors will get a chance to bring home Palaw'an made crafts and other souvenirs that are hand-crafted by the local village folks.

Exposing children firsthand to the beauty of nature and allowing them to experience the culture and traditions of our Indigenous people can leave a lasting impression.

Someday, whatever profession they choose, they will hopefully carry this appreciation with them—always considering nature, culture, and conservation as an important part of their plans for the future. 🌿🌏❤️
