Among the most valuable assets of the Philippines is its priceless natural biodiversity. The Philippines, like neighbouring Indonesia, is located in the heart of the coral triangle, and punches well above its weight in terms of biodiversity. Its island nature means large numbers of species have been allowed to evolve in this area in ways they haven’t elsewhere. 
​
There are more than fifty thousand species native to these islands, of which more than half cannot be found anywhere else on the planet.

Of course, as the country’s economy develops, human activity inevitably encroaches onto the natural world. This is an unwelcome trend that could easily spell doom for countless species, especially if corrective action is not taken in advance. Once lost, biodiversity can take a long time to recover – and certain species may never recover.
