Some examples of the indigenous and endangered plant and animal species in the Philippines are the
Philippine eagle, Philippine spotted deer, Green turtle, Tarsier,
Philippine Sailfin Lizard, and Philippine Monitor Lizard for the
animals. Jade vine, Fan Palm, Kabantigi, and Tree Fern for the plants.
According to the Republic Act No. 7586 of the Philippines also known as
National Integrated Protected Area System of 1992. This aims to provide
and protect our natural resources and our indigenous plants and animals
due to the impact of man's activities on all components of our natural
environment, particularly the effect of increasing population, resource
exploitation and industrial advancement. In order to protect these indigenous plants and animals, there should always be restriction measures on hunting, transporting, and trading the species. The government should develop recovery plants for endangered and threatened species, which outline the steps that need to be taken for the species to recover. Other acts that aim to protect our endangered species, such as Marine Mammal Protection Act, and Endangered Species Act. We should also encourage the government to create more wildlife sanctuaries for the protection of our endangered species. In my part, I will help inform
people to lessen deforestation so that there will be more homes for the
species and their protection so that they will increase and insure
safety to their environment.
