The protected area spans 29,062 hectares (71,810 acres) of adjoining forestlands and watersheds located in the middle of the province. The CCPL houses many of Cebu's endemic and indigenous species.The CCPL is also home to several threatened species , such as the Cebu Flowerpecker, Black Shama, the Cebu Cinnamon tree(Cinnamomum cebuense), a rare new kind of orchid, the Streak-breasted Bulbul, the Rufous-lored Kingfisher, and the Philippine Tube-nosed Fruit Bat among others. It is in this area where the critically endangered Cebu flowerpecker was rediscovered in 1992. The area is also home to the newly-opened Kan-irag Nature Park.[1]
