  1. All species, no matter how small it is has an important role to balance the ecosystem • In the Philippines, its coral reefs, holds 300,000km2 diverse species. • Our rainforest are home to 102 species of amphibians, 254 species of reptiles, 179 mammals, 20,940 species of insects, 548 species of birds, 15,000 kinds of plants. • They are efficient use to make medicines, clothes and foods.

  2. Biodiversity Biodiversity, short for biological diversity, is the term used to describe the variety of life found on Earth and all of the natural processes.

  3. Traditional Three level of biodiversity has been identified: • Genetic diversity • 2. Species diversity • 3. Ecosystem diversity

  4. Why biodiversity is important?Essential of life Benefits of biodiversity • Can be a skin ointment, antibiotics, anti-cancer drugs. • The wild species are an important reservoir of genes that aid farmers in empowering food crops and livestock. • Provides foods, shelter and clothes. • Control pests, recycle water, reduce flooding and control erosion.

  5. Causes of biodiversity loss • Alteration and destruction of ecosystem • Farming practices • Hunting, killing and exploitation of animals • Introduction of new species • Water pollution and atmosphere • Failure to account for the value of biodiversity

  6. WHERE it came from? EVOLUTION FLOW OF ENERGY Cooperation

  7. Effects and Impacts • If our Earths biodiversity gets too damaged we could lose our fresh water causing larger water restriction, our reefs and our Alpine Areas. There would be more bushfires and effects our lives, home and property. • It damage spread Tropical diseases and parasites. There will be a large spread of weed, pest and bugs. It will damage or destroy our coastal areas and beaches. There will be a loss of rainforest and jungles. • Loss of biodiversity appears to impacts ecosystem as much as climate change, pollution change and other major environmental forms of environmental stress. “Loss of biological due to species extinctions is going to have major impacts on our planet, and we better prepare ourselves to deal with them,” by Bradley Cardinate

  8. Mitigation Methods of preventing extinction • The zoo-botanical garden approach • The species approach • Ecosystem approach

  9. Laws Protecting Biodiversity in the Philippines Acts/Republic Acts and Implementing Rules and Regulations • Act No. 2590 (1916) An Act For The Protection Of Game And Fish. • RA 7308 An Act to Promote and Develop the Seed Industry in the Philippines and Create a National Seed Industry Council and for Other Purposes • RA 7586 National Integrated Protected Areas System Act of 1992 • DAO 25, s 1992, NIPAS Implementing Rules and Regulations

  10. RA 7611 Strategic Environmental Plan (SEP) for Palawan Acts • RA 7900 High-Value Crops Development Act of 1995 • RA 7942 Philippine Mining Code • RA 8371 Recognizing the Rights Of Indigenous Cultural Communities/Indigenous Peoples

  11. Presidential Decrees • PD 1433 Plant Quarantine Decree of 1978 • PD 1586 Environmental Impact Statement System Law Executive Orders and Implementing Rules and Regulations • EO 192 Reorganization of the DENR • EO 247 Guidelines on Bio-prospecting • DAO 20,s 1996 Implementing Rules And Regulations On The Prospecting Of Biological And Genetic Resources

  12. Proclamation • Proc No. 926 Establishing Subic Watershed Forest Reserve • DENR Administrative Orders • DAO 24, s 1991, Shift in Logging from the Old Growth (Virgin) Forests to the Second Growth (Residual) Forests • DAO 2, s 1993, Rules And Regulations For The Identification, Delineation And Recognition Of Ancestral And Domain Claims

  13. Conclusion Biodiversity has a big function to the balance of ecosystem as well as to the needs of human, but because of the unlimited wants off human, the change of climate, the innovation of technology, the pollution, and the industrial site affects the number of it. They become extinct as the modern time passed by. The local government made a law to protect it, but the most effective protection is comes from human.

  14. Recommendation • Don’t buy Bad souvenirs • Save our Forest by buying “ good” wood • Buy Sustainable Seafood • Protecting Areas • Preventing Species Introductions • Informing/Educating
