For example, the country's forest cover declined tremendously in the recent years. Such decline in habitats also resulted in many catastrophic natural events. Devastation brought by typhoons could be minimized if the mangrove ecosystems along coastal areas are thriving. Unfortunately, we saw a decline in these mangrove areas, mainly due to over-exploitation of woods and conversion of mangrove swamps into aquaculture areas. ]]> 2019-02-05 15:11:06 UTC https://padlet.com/tedelacruz/fi8wy2mg0tbp/wish/327811631 https://padlet.com/tedelacruz/fi8wy2mg0tbp/wish/329099583 Popularly known as "Janitor fish", Pterygoplicthus disjunctivus, this species common as household pet in aquaria was released in the local rivers. This has reduced dramatically the native or local species, thereby affecting not only the river and lake ecosystem, but also the economy of the region. This is an example of indescriminate release of unwanted pets into the wild.  ]]> 2019-02-08 08:32:44 UTC https://padlet.com/tedelacruz/fi8wy2mg0tbp/wish/329099583 https://padlet.com/tedelacruz/fi8wy2mg0tbp/wish/329100139 2019-02-08 08:35:29 UTC https://padlet.com/tedelacruz/fi8wy2mg0tbp/wish/329100139 https://padlet.com/tedelacruz/fi8wy2mg0tbp/wish/329101253 2019-02-08 08:39:58 UTC https://padlet.com/tedelacruz/fi8wy2mg0tbp/wish/329101253 https://padlet.com/tedelacruz/fi8wy2mg0tbp/wish/329101911 Philippines is home to many endemic species...
