ENV 101 CONSERVATION OF BIODIVERSITY  ENV 101 SAVE ENVIRONTMENT WHY NEED TO CONSERVE BIODIVERSITY? Today Biodiversity conservation is impossible without the participation of everyone who impacts the ecosystem – from loggers who harvest forest timber, to consumers who buy food at the supermarket, to city governments who put restrictions on building in ecologically sensitive areas. STAKEHOLDERS CONTIBUTING TO CONSERVATION OF BIODIVERSITY International Organization Government The Private Sector Civil Society Local Communities The Media Individual Consumer Services SAVE ENVIRONTMENT  ENV 101 SAVE ENVIRONTMENT INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION International organizations maintain biodiversity and development as top global goals and implement conservation strategies based on these considerations. The United Nations (UN) collaborates closely with governments and civil society to guarantee that principles are established and accepted and that those in need of assistance receive funds and support. THE UNITED NATIONS ENV 101 SAVE ENVIRONTMENT GOVERNMENT Governments can control their economies to take into account the effects on people and the environment. Governments adopt and implement conservation policies, create management tools and regulations, and designate protected areas (national parks, community reserves, forest reserves, zoological reserves, and hunting reserves). Presentation Design ENV 101 THE PRIVATE SECTOR The private sector is able to create products and services that benefit both people and the environment. It can offer "patient capital," a form of long-term financing available to launch or expand a business without the hope of making a profit right now. Presentation Design ENV 101 SAVE ENVIRONTMENT CIVIL SOCIETY Civil society is made up of regular individuals, citizen organizations, and young people and children. The majority of civil society organizations are non-governmental, nonprofit, non- military, and anti-individualist. They range from huge, established international groups like the Worldwide Fund for Nature/World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and the International Union. Presentation Design ENV 101 LOCAL COMMUNITIES Local communities that reside in and close to protected areas are involved in decision-making and see to it that the advantages of using biodiversity are fairly distributed. Presentation Design  THE MEDIA Between citizens, governments, the private sector, and other entities, the media serve as "mediators." The media disseminate information, increase public awareness, and occasionally advocate for or against policies made by the public or private sectors. Several media organizations, including the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) in the UK and the National Geographic Society in the USA, focus on conservation-related topics. SAVE ENVIRONTMENT ENV 101 SAVE ENVIRONTMENT INDIVIDUAL CONSUMER SERVICES Individual consumer decisions have an impact on the market. People should be aware of the decisions they make regarding their appearance, living situation, travel, diet, and other choices. Presentation Design TERMS TO REMEMBER LEARN MORE ENV 101 1.

OUT OF DANGER Species that were previously THE PHIL listed in one of the categories above but are now deemed to be relatively secure as a result of the implementation of effective conservation measures. 6. INDETERMINATE Species for which there is speculation that they fall within one of the first categories but for which there is currently insufficient data.  7. ENDEMIC A condition that is frequently encountered in a certain population or location. TEN UNIQUE ENDEMIC SPECIES IN THE PHILIPPINES THE PALAWAN FRUIT BAT Acerodon leucotis Often referred to as the Palawan flying fox, is a species of megabat found in the Philippines’ forests of Busuanga, Balabac, and Palawan. It is diminishing because of hunting and habitat degradation, and the IUCN has classed it as vulnerable.  BARBOULA BUSUANGENSIS THE PHILIPPINE FLAT-HEADED FROG A type of frog belonging to the family Bombinattoridae. Also, it goes by the names, “Busuanga discoglossid frog” and “Busuanga jungle toad” (the last two names reflect the earlier placement of the genus Barbourula in the family Discoglossidae but are misleading under current taxonomy). It is endemic to the Busuanga, Culion, Balabac, and Palawan islands in the Philippines. Its native habitats are as follows: Tropical Dry Forest Moist lowland forests Montane forests Rivers Variable rivers It faces a threat from habitat loss. CEYX MELANURUS THE PHILIPPINE DWARF KINGFISHER An Alcedinidae bird species that is unique to the Philippines. It is endemic in the Philippines. found in the islands of Luzon, Polillo Islands, Catanduanes, Basilan, Samar, Leyte and Mindanao. Its natural habitat is tropical moist lowland forests. It is threatened by habitat loss. The Philippine dwarf kingfisher is a small mostly orange kingfisher with a red beak and legs, and a white belly. It has a light lilac hue which is more intense in the southern subspecies and has dark blue spotted wings for the northern subspecies.  Philippine Flying Lemur THE PHILIPPINE FLYING LEMUR Cynocephalus Volans One of the two species of flying lemurs-the only two still existing species in the order Dermotepra-is referred to locally as the kagwang. It is also the sole member of the Cynocephalus genus. The other species is the Sunda flying lemur. Genetic evidence has recently suggested the existence of two further species, the Bornean flying lemur and the Javan flying lemur, albeit these have not yet been given formal classification. Sunda Flying Lemur SUNDASCIURUS SAMARENSIS THE SAMAR SQUIRREL AA type of rodent belonging to the Sciuridae. Subtropical or dry forests are its natural environment, and it is endemic to the Philippines. It is threatened by habitat loss, due to expanding human activities, hunting, and the lack of basic knowledge about the species. They thrive in primary and secondary lowland and montane forest, including the lower edges of mossy forest. It is also found in some agricultural areas. EURALAIMUS SAMARENSIS THE VISAYAN BROADBILL A type of bird belonging to the family Eurolaimide. It is unique to the central Philippine islands of Samar, Leyte, and Bohol. Its natural habitat is tropical moist lowland forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.. It is often found foraging in the understorey and lower parts of the canopy.  THE PALAWAN FLY CATCHER Ficedula Platenae A type of bird that belongs to the Muscicapidae family. In the Philippines, it is widespread. Its natural habitat is tropical moist lowland forests. It is threatened by habitat loss. It has been assessed as vulnerable with a population currently between 6,000 and 15,000, the Palawan flycatcher has attracted help from conservation groups. KALOULA KALINGENSIS THE KALINGA NARROWMOUTH TOAD A type of frog belonging to the Microhylidae family. It only exists in the Philippines. These are its natural habitats: Moist lowland forests in the subtropics or the tropics Moist mountain forests in the subtropics or the tropics Arable land Pastureland Plantations UROGALE EVERETTI THE MINDANAO TREESHREW A dpecies of treeshrew native to the Mindanao region of the Philippines is also known as the Philippine tree shrew. It is the sole representative of the genus Urogale. Alfred Hart Everett, a British colonial administrator and zoological collector, is honored by the scientific name. THE MINDORO BLACK RAT Rattus Mindorensis A type of rodent belonging to the Muridae Family. It can only be found in the Philippines. Presentation Design  ENDANGERED FLORA AND FAUNA Rimberio Co 1. DESTRUCTION OF THEIR NATURAL HABITAT. Rimberio Co 2.

EXPORTING CERTAIN SPECIES  PLANT BIODIVERSITY IN THE PHILIPPINES An essential component of a region's biodiversity are its plants.  There are between 10,000 and 14,000 different plant species in the Philippines. The Philippines ranks fifth in the world for the total number of plant species that occur there, accounting for about 5% of all plant species on Earth.  ENDANGERED PLANT SPECIES IN THE PHILIPPINES ENDANGERED SPECIES ARE SPECIES OR SUBSPECIES WHOSE CONTINUED EXISTENCE IN THE WILD IS THREATENED BY OUTSIDE THREATS. MANGIFERA ODORATA This plant is also found in other South Asian nations with the names huani and kuini mango. KIBATALIA PUBERULA A little evergreen tree that can only be found in the Philippines' Samar Island. PHALAENOPSIS LINDENII A white-petaled orchid with pink or purple hints. Rimberio Co CRITICALLY ENDANGERED PLANT SPECIES DENDROBIUM SCHUETZEI A white-flowered orchid species that is unique to the island of Mindanao.  ALOCASIA ATROPURPUREA A TINY, INDIGENOUS SHRUB WITH BROAD LEAVES. Rimberio Co HOPEA PHILIPPINENSI A little tree from the rainforest CYCAS WADEI A SMALL PALM-LIKE TREE THREATS TO SPECIES SURVIVAL  THREATS TO SPECIES SURVIVAL In the Philippines, human activities provide the biggest threat to plant species. In order to construct new residential neighborhoods, industrial hubs, , and roads and highways, habitats in the rainforest and grasslands are being destroved. Two of the most important factors in preserving the Philippines' rich biodiversity and saving its endangered plant species are education and LEARN MORE sustainable development.  Types of Endangered Rainforest Plants An estimated 80% of the world's green plant life is found in rainforests. Yet, they only cover 2% of the planet's surface. Our rainforests are rapidly disappearing, in large part due to : human cultivation, pollution, and wildfires.  WE CANNOT PREVENT THE EXTINCTION OF THE PLANTS UNLESS WE BECOME AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND TAKE ACTION TO ADDRESS IT. 1. DURIAN THERE ARE 15 DIFFERENT VARIETIES OF DURIAN TREES. THE DURIAN TESTUDINARUM IS NOT JUST UNCOMMON BUT ALSO LISTED AS AN ENDANGERED SPECIES BY BLUEPLANETBIMES.ORG. 2. MANGROVE FORESTS AS THE RAINFOREST MEETS THE OCEAN, MANGROVE FORESTS THAT RESEMBLE STILTED GROWTH CAN BE DISCOVERED. DUE TO THEIR VULNERABILITY TO POLLUTION AND O SOILS FROM THE OCEAN THESE TREES ARE IN DANGER OF EXTINCTION. 3. ORCHIDS OVER 25,000 DIFFERENT VARIETIES OF ORCHIDS EXIST. MANY ORCHID SPECIES ARE LISTED AS ENDANGERED DUE OF THEIR UNCOMMON BEAUTY AND ORCHID SMUGGLING. 4. RAFFLESIA FLOWERS ONE OF THE RAREST AND MOST ENDANGERED FLOWERS IN THE WORLD IS THE RAFFLESIA. THE RAFFLESIA IS ABOUT 6 POUNDS IN WEIGHT. 5. TRIUMNIA ROBUSTA THE QUEEN'S ISLAND GOVERNMENT CLAIMS THAT ABOUT 13% OF THE PLANTS IN THEIR RAINFOREST ARE ENDANGERED, HOWEVER THEY HAVE SINCE BEEN DISCOVERED IN TWO ADDITIONAL RAINFORESTS. THE STATUS OF THIS PLANT IS RARE AND ENDANGERED. 6. CALAMUS ARUENSIS A VINE THAT CLIMBS AND IS FOUND IN THE AUSTRALIAN RAINFOREST. CLASSIFIED NOT ONLY ENDANGERED BUT AS RARE AS WELL. CONSERVATION OF BIODIVERSITY  The hope for conservation of natural biodiversity nonetheless rests on preservation of selected ecosystem and representative areas of diverse vegetation types in the country, as well as on conserving some extinction prone species. Growing numbers of threatened plant and animal species have motivated both governmental and non-governmental organizations to adopt specific actions in this regard. Forests and animals were mostly under the control of state administrations.  GUESS THE COUNTRY INDIA  The following are some of India's goals and objectives for managing wildlife: A. PRESERVING THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT. B. KEEPING A VARIETY OF SPECIES ALIVE. C. ESTABLISHMENT OF BIOSPHERE RESERVES. D.
