652 PH - Puerto-Princesa Subterranean River National Park (1999)

Brief Description

"This park features a spectacular limestone karst landscape with an underground river. One of the river's distinguishing features is that it emerges directly into the sea, and its lower portion is subject to tidal influences. The area also represents a significant habitat for biodiversity conservation. The site contains a full 'mountain-to-sea' ecosystem and has some of the most important forests in Asia."

普林塞萨港地下河国家公园
"普林塞萨港地下河国家公园以雄伟的石灰石喀斯特地貌和那里的地下河流而举世闻名。这些河流的特点之一是它们直接流入大海,所以河流下游受潮汐影响。这个地方还是生物多样性保护区。该公园包括整个“山–海”生态系统以及亚洲一些非常重要的森林。"
