Natural Environment

The present use of Dimakya as a nature-oriented resort will ensure the preservation and protection of endemic species. The natural lagoon, for example, remains as a natural attractant to wetland inhabitants and visitors. Thus wildlife around the lagoon area such as calamian deer (an endemic animal recognized by the WWF), monitor lizards, herons, bulbuls and kingfishers will continue to inhabit the island.

The vegetation and the hills are also preserved in their natural state. These areas provide habitat to other birds which are displaced in the flatlands. Bird watching is an interesting activity at the resort because of the diverse array of avifauna.
