In the park's northern portion, Mount Baco rises to an elevation of 2,488 metres (8,163 ft) above sea level.

Moreover, the protected area shares boundaries with parts of the ancestral domains of the Taobuid, Buhid, and Bangon, with their unique and entwined cultures within MIBNP.

[7] The park's vegetation consists primarily of grasslands, lowland Dipterocarp forests, and montane rainforests on the higher slopes.

In relation to KBAs, the MIBNP hosts four Important Bird Areas (IBAs) including PH041: Iglit, PH042: Siburan, PH043: Malpalon, and PH044: Mt.

[9] With its diverse flora and fauna, and the culture of the indigenous peoples residing within the protected area, MIBNP is fast becoming an attraction to various types of audiences.

Despite this, the park strives to protect remnants of lowland rain, mountain, and cloud forests housing critically threatened endemic animal species.

The success of these conservation efforts is attributed to the steadfast support from various stakeholders, including the ASEAN Centre for Biodiversity (ACB), Mindoro Biodiversity Conservation Foundation, Inc. (MBCFI), D'Aboville Foundation (DAF) Inc., World Wildlife Fund (WWF), UNDP-BIOFIN, Far Eastern University, University of Santo Tomas-Project MATAPAT, Occidental Mindoro State College, and other local and international partners.

The park is the habitat of the endemic tamaraw (Bubalus mindorensis), a small, hoofed mammal of the bovid family unique to the Philippines that first documented in 1888.

The traditional land-use practices from the residing Indigenous Communities and poaching incidents from lowlanders are currently the main threats to the viability of these subpopulations, limiting their chance to expand and increase their population.

[13] The biggest population of tamaraw can be found in a mossaic of predominantly grasslands with patches of secondary forests in the soutwestern interior of the park.

From the inception of TCP in 1979 to date, several agencies have handled the implementation of the Project, including the Presidential Assistance for the National Minorities (PANANIM, 1979-1983); Office of the Muslim Affairs and Cultural Communities (OMACC, 1984); Ministry of Agriculture and Food (MAF, 1985-1986); Central Office of the Department of Environment and natural Resources in collaboration with the Conservation and Resource Management Foundation, Inc. (DENR & CRMF, 1987-1989); Protected Areas and Wildlife Bureau (PAWB, 1990-1997) with the assistance of the University of the Philippines Foundation, Inc. (UPLBF, 1990-1993 and 1995); and DENR MIMAROPA in 1998.

Some of the important indigenous plants found in the park are the kalantas tree, tindalo, almaciga, kamagong and the endangered jade vine.
