Oriental Mindoro is located in MIMAROPA Region. It lies 45 kilometers south of Batangas and 130 kilometers south of Manila.
It is bounded by Verde Island Passage on the north; Maestro del Campo Island and Tablas Strait on the east; Semirara Island on the south; and Occidental Mindoro on the west.
Oriental Mindoro has a total land area of 4,364.72 square kilometers or 436,472 hectares. It represents 1.45% of the total land area of the country and 15.90% of the MIMAROPA Region.
Oriental Mindoro has a rugged terrain and an irregular coastline. Numerous rivers and streams traverse the province but none are navigable by large vessels.
The province has two climate types: Type I and Type III. Type I is characterized by two pronounced seasons, dry and wet. Type III has no pronounced season, relatively dry from November to April, and wet during the rest of the year.
The seven recognized tribes of Mangyan in Oriental Mindoro are Alangan, Bangon, Buhid, Hanunuo, Iraya, Tadyawan, and Tau-Buhid, each with its own distinct language, traditions, and way of life, yet all united in preserving their cultural heritage and deep connection to the land and nature of Mindoro.
Mt. Halcon is home to the indigenous Alangan Mangyans. Its steep slopes have earned it the reputation of being one of the most difficult and technically most challenging mountains to climb in the Philippines. Mt. Halcon Range is situated on the northern central portion of Mindoro with an estimated elevation of 2,590 meters (Merrill 1907). Recent elevation studies of the summit of Mt. Halcon have reported it to be at 2,582 meters (Mandia 2001).
The tamaraw or Mindoro dwarf buffalo (Bubalus mindorensis) is a small buffalo belonging to the family Bovidae. It is endemic to the island of Mindoro in the Philippines, and is the only endemic Philippine bovine. It is not a subspecies of the water buffalo, nor is it a subspecies of the slightly larger carabao. The discovery of fossil bubalids in other islands around the archipelago indicates that the family was once widespread throughout the Philippines.
Naujan Lake is the main feature of the protected area known as the Naujan Lake National Park. The lake and adjoining areas was declared a national park on March 27, 1956 through Proclamation No. 282 by President Ramon Magsaysay. The Ramsar Convention has declared it as a “Wetland of International Importance”. It is bordered by the municipalities of Naujan, Victoria, Socorro and Pola. The lake is home to a wide variety of fish and water birds both local and migratory.

Ang Oriental Mindoro ay matatagpuan sa MIMAROPA Region. Ito ay 45 kilometro sa timog ng Batangas at 130 kilometro sa timog ng Maynila.
Napapaligiran ito ng Verde Island Passage sa hilaga; Maestro del Campo Island at Tablas Strait sa silangan; Semirara Island sa timog; at Occidental Mindoro sa kanluran.
Ang Oriental Mindoro ay may kabuuang lawak ng lupa na 4,364.72 square kilometers o 436,472 ektarya. Ito ay 1.45% ng kabuuang lawak ng lupa ng bansa at 15.90% ng MIMAROPA Region.
Ang Oriental Mindoro ay may mabatong terreno at hindi pantay na baybayin. Maraming ilog at sapa ang dumadaloy sa lalawigan ngunit walang nadadaanan ng malalaking barko.
Ang lalawigan ay may dalawang uri ng klima: Type I at Type III. Ang Type I ay may dalawang malinaw na panahon, tag-araw at tag-ulan. Ang Type III ay walang malinaw na panahon, medyo tuyo mula Nobyembre hanggang Abril, at maulan sa ibang bahagi ng taon.
Ang pitong kinikilalang tribo ng Mangyan sa Oriental Mindoro ay Alangan, Bangon, Buhid, Hanunuo, Iraya, Tadyawan, at Tau-Buhid, na bawat isa ay may kanya-kanyang wika, tradisyon, at paraan ng pamumuhay, ngunit lahat ay nagkakaisa sa pagpapanatili ng kanilang kultural na pamana at malalim na ugnayan sa lupa at kalikasan ng Mindoro.
Ang Mt. Halcon ay tahanan ng mga katutubong Alangan Mangyan. Ang matatarik nitong dalisdis ang nagbigay dito ng reputasyon bilang isa sa pinakamahirap at pinaka-teknikal na bundok na akyatin sa Pilipinas. Ang Mt. Halcon Range ay matatagpuan sa hilagang gitnang bahagi ng Mindoro na may tinatayang taas na 2,590 metro (Merrill 1907). Ayon sa mga bagong pag-aaral sa taas ng tuktok ng Mt. Halcon, ito ay nasa 2,582 metro (Mandia 2001).
Ang tamaraw o Mindoro dwarf buffalo (Bubalus mindorensis) ay isang maliit na kalabaw na kabilang sa pamilyang Bovidae. Ito ay endemic sa isla ng Mindoro sa Pilipinas, at ito ang tanging endemic na bovine sa Pilipinas. Hindi ito subspecies ng water buffalo, at hindi rin ito subspecies ng bahagyang mas malaking carabao. Ang pagkakatuklas ng fossil ng mga bubalid sa ibang mga isla sa kapuluan ay nagpapakita na ang pamilyang ito noon ay laganap sa buong Pilipinas.
Ang Naujan Lake ang pangunahing tampok ng protected area na kilala bilang Naujan Lake National Park. Ang lawa at ang mga kalapit na lugar ay idineklarang national park noong March 27, 1956 sa pamamagitan ng Proclamation No. 282 ni President Ramon Magsaysay. Idineklara ito ng Ramsar Convention bilang “Wetland of International Importance”. Napapaligiran ito ng mga munisipalidad ng Naujan, Victoria, Socorro at Pola. Ang lawa ay tahanan ng maraming uri ng isda at mga ibon sa tubig, lokal man o migratory.
