WHAT IS IT?
Extinction
Extinction happens when the last member of species dies. Species become extinct if it can no longer adapt to the changes
to the environment and consistently compete with other organisms. Adaptation is a characteristic of an organisms that make it fit
for its environment or for its particular way of life.
Rates of extinction vary widely. For example, during the last 100,000 years of the Pleistocene Epoch (about 2.6 million to
11,700 years ago), some 40 percent of the existing genera of large mammals in Africa and more than 70 percent in North
America, South America, and Australia went extinct. Ecologists estimate that the present-day extinction rate is 1,000 to 10,000 times
the background extinction rate (between one and five species per year) because of deforestation, habitat loss,
overhunting, pollution, climate change, and other human activities—the sum total of which will likely result in the loss of between
30 and 50 percent of extant species by the middle of the 21st century.
Top Five Extinctions
• Ordovician-silurian Extinction: 440 million years ago. 100 families of plants and animals went extinct.
• Devonian Extinction: 365 million years ago. When 30% of plant and animal’s families went extinct.
• Permian-triassic Extinction: 250 million years ago. The biggest extinction of all time, 50% of plants and animals lost.
• Triassic-jurassic Extinction: 210 million years ago. 35% of plants and animals died out.
• Cretaceous-tertiary Extinction: 65 Million Years Ago. Ended the reign of dinosaurs.

Guided Questions:
1. Do you think we should eliminate all crocodiles, snakes and mosquitos?
2. What do you think is the important or function of those animals in our ecosystem?
Species become extinct for the following reasons:
• Demographic and genetic phenomena - Population genetics and demographic phenomena affect the evolution, and
therefore the risk of extinction, of species. ... The founder effect can cause rapid, individual-based speciation and is the
most dramatic example of a population bottleneck.
• Destruction of wild habitats - Clearing habitats for agriculture, for example, is the principal cause of habitat destruction.
Other important causes of habitat destruction include mining, logging, and urban sprawl. Habitat destruction is currently
ranked as the primary cause of species extinction worldwide.
• Introduction of invasive species - Invasive alien species (IAS) includes exotic or non-native micro- and macro-
species introduced, accidentally or deliberately, to a place that is not part of their natural habitat or distributional range,
and have adverse ecological and economic impacts (Bruton and Merron, 1985; De Silva 1989).
• Climate change - Climate change causes extinctions not only as a result of species intolerance to high temperature, but
more commonly via a variety of related factors that alter a species' interactions with other species, according to a new
review published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B today.
• Hunting and illegal trafficking - Illegal wildlife trade is also often unsustainable, harming wild populations of animals and
plants and pushing endangered species toward extinction. Endangered animals and plants are often the target of
wildlife crime because of their rarity and increased economic value.
List of Endangered Animals in the Philippines
• Philippine Crocodile. Experts working with the environment ministry say there are less than 100 of them left in the wild. The
ministry says the Philippine crocodile and the saltwater crocodile are "critically endangered" mainly due to loss of habitat
as a result of human population growth and expansion.
• Philippine Eagle. The Philippine Eagle is Critically Endangered and only 400 breeding pairs remain on four islands. This
apex forest predator is the national bird of the Philippines yet shooting, hunting and deforestation continue to threaten it.
• Tamaraw. Originally widespread across the island, the tamaraw has suffered from heavy hunting and continuous habitat
destruction during the last century. It has gradually been confined within the mountainous interior of the island. The
species is now listed as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List of threatened species.
• Bombon Sardine (Tawilis). According to the IUCN Red List report which conducted last 28 February 2017 and published in
2018, the catch of the tawilis started to decline since 1998 due to overfishing, illegal use of active fishing gears, increasing
use of fish cages, and the deterioration of the water quality in Taal Lake.
• Calamian and Philippine spotted deer. Philippine spotted deer are probably the most endangered deer in the world. This
is partly due to habitat destruction, but illegal hunting is also a problem for this species.
• Tarsier. The loss of Philippine Tarsier habitat is primarily due to logging and mining in the forests that they live in, along with
the persistence of an illegal pet trade industry and being hunted for food by local people have threatened the tarsier
population
• Sea Turtles. Slaughtered for their eggs, meat, skin, and shells, sea turtles suffer from poaching and over-exploitation.
• Balabac mouse deer (Pilandok). The Mouse Deer are hunted and become as endangered condition. ... Because it is
hunted easily by wild animal and man. It is also very sensitive type. Its breeding and survival were under challenge.

Ways To help Endangered Species
Conservation of endangered species may sound like a job for politicians and scientists. A problem of such proportions seems
impossible to be tackled by the average person. But you can make a significant impact by adopting some simple habits; and if we
all do the same, we have the power to protect endangered animals all over the world. Here are 10 ways you can make a
difference for endangered species:
Reduce And Reuse
Reuse items in your household when you can, and buy products that produce less packaging waste. By purchasing second-hand
furniture, clothes, electronics, and toys, you help reduce the energy consumption required to make new ones and produce less
waste as well. Choose reusable bottles for beverages whenever you can. Use a reusable bag for your groceries, and carry your own
container to the restaurant for the leftovers.
Don’t Use Harsh Chemicals In Your Household
Toxic chemicals used in laundry, housecleaning, dish washing and personal care products end up in underground waters, poisoning
aquatic life and any animals that feed on them. Choose non-toxic products, or make your own.
Dispose Of Waste Properly
Recycle plastics, paper, metal cans and glass. When you take out your trash, see that the bag is sealed safely so you don’t litter by
accident. Dangerous compounds such as car fluids, paint, bleach, batteries, pesticides, and other chemical substances should be
disposed of properly at a specialized facility.
Prevent Soil Erosion
Take all necessary measures to prevent soil erosion and protect water resources close by used by wild animals. When you clear out
vegetation, you must take all necessary precautions that any loose sediment is kept away from natural waterways, as it would
consume all oxygen from the water and disrupt the habitat of the stream bed.
Maintain A Healthy Backyard Habitat
Populate your yard with native plants and ask the extension agent of your local community to help you fight off any invasive plant
species. Replace toxic pesticides and herbicides with safer options. Sterilize bird feeders and baths often to stop diseases from
spreading. Prevent wild animals from raiding pet bowls and trash cans by bringing pet food indoors overnight and securing your
garbage in safely closed bins.
Support An Organization That Fights To Save Endangered Species
If you care a lot about saving a particular endangered habitat or species, seek out an organization who is on a mission that
accommodates your concerns. Volunteer, donate or materialize your support by adopting your favorite endangered species.
Advocate For Conservation
Start studying about how you can assist in pressuring government officials on issue policies and decisions regarding endangered
species. Stay informed on how to effectively engage in civilian advocacy by signing up to relevant newsletters.
Vote
Become a member of the League of Conservation Voters, a national non-profit that works toward turning environmental values into
the nation’s priorities by promoting the adoption of fair environmental policies and electing candidates with eco-friendly views who
will take ownership of, and implement, these policies.
Lead By Example
As you gain more insight about how to protect endangered wildlife, you will become more capable of conveying that knowledge
to other people. It is more efficient to share your own relevant efforts and experiences with your friends and family, than simply
flooding them with dos and don’ts. To lead by example is the most effective way to show people how to start changing their lives.
Reduce Or Remove Meat, Dairy And Eggs From Your Diet
The one action with the most pronounced impact on the preservation of the environment is to become a vegan. Animal farming is
the number one cause of water consumption, pollution, and deforestation. Livestock has a higher greenhouse effect on the
atmosphere than fossil fuel consumption. The farming industry is the principle cause of rainforest demise, soil erosion, habitat loss,
species extinction and dead zones in the oceans. Enormous amounts of food, water, energy, and land are required to raise animals
for food, on top of the immense animal suffering it causes. By opting to consume exclusively plant-based food, you aid in the rescue
of our planet, while easing animal suffering at the same time.
