Indigenous and Endangered Plant and Animal Species withing the Philippines and measures taken to conserve, preserve, and protect these species at a border level

 Indigenous and Endangered Plant and Animal species within the Philippines 

                         The Philippines has a lot of endangered plants and animal life like the Philippine eagle, Philippine Tarsier, and genus Rafflesia. They are endangered primarily because of urbanization which would cause the animals to migrate to different places and they would have a hard time to adapt to a new ecosystem or the animal would become isolated from the rest of its kind. If the quantity of a certain species becomes very low the chances of the species to stay alive becomes very low as well because they would have a lower chance to reproduce. The plant life who reproduce asexually would face a different problem like competition for water and sunlight with other plant life. They can affect different ecosystems when they migrate because they could increase the amount of competition in the area and make native animals or plants have a hard time to thrive or survive in their native place. 

     

                     More than 290 areas in the Philippines are under protected status. These include national parks, national marine parks and reserves, game refuges, bird sanctuaries, mangrove forest reserves and wilderness areas. Many protected areas have been haphazardly managed, but implementation of the National Integrated Protected Areas System law means they have to conform to government guidelines.

              Conservation efforts in the Philippines have historically been hampered by shortage of funds, lack of technical expertise and weak or conflicting government policies. However, the government's National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan, which is being implemented in stages, is intended to resolve these problems and provide a cohesive, nationwide system of conservation management.

                           The people who do land clearing usually don't care whether or not there is an endangered plant species so long as they get paid. The Tarsier is being well protected by the people in Bohol because when i visited the place where they let us view the Tarsier, they gave us a short seminar of the rules inside the area and they made sure there are workers stationed on posts to make sure the people are following the rules. These endangered species also have a role in our ecosystem like the insect eating plants because reducing the number of harmful insects in the area.
