The Philippine Highlands are a mountainous region located in the central and northern parts of the Philippines. This area is characterized by rugged terrain, lush forests, and diverse ecosystems. The highlands are home to several major mountain ranges, including the Cordillera Central and the Sierra Madre, which provide habitats for various plant and animal species. The climate in the Philippine Highlands is generally cooler and wetter than in lowland areas, making it suitable for agriculture. The region is known for its rich cultural heritage, with indigenous groups such as the Igorot people residing in the highlands, preserving their unique traditions and practices.
