Humans have significantly impacted biodiversity through habitat destruction, overconsumption of resources, and the introduction of invasive species. These activities can disrupt ecosystem balance and cause species death and extinction. Biodiversity provides essential resources and ensures sustainability, containing genetic, species, and ecosystem diversity. The Philippines has exceptionally rich terrestrial and marine biodiversity as part of the Coral Triangle, though it faces threats from pollution, climate change, deforestation, and overexploitation that are endangering organisms and driving extinction. Conservation is needed to protect biodiversity in the Philippines.

How human affect the biodiversity?
Humans affect the biodiversity in an enormous such as serious damage to the habitat of different species in a certain ecosystem which in turn causes the lack of habitat and foods that ends to death of the specie. We took too many resources in the environment that causes tremendous destruction like the global warming, the unexpected climate change, and the increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Humans are too greedy which turns a forest to a civilized zone that kills a lot of species in a diversity which breaks the interdependence of all the organisms in an ecosystem. The introduction of invasive or alien species to the environment causes the well balance system breaks down. The alien species dominates most of the species and took all the resources from them, eventually leading to the death of the specie and to extinction. Benefits of Biodiversity The biodiversity is so important to the organisms because it provide the needs of different organisms living in an environment. Greater species diversity ensures natural sustainability for all life forms. Biodiversity is the most providing the resources needed by an organism living in an ecosystem. In the video, it shows that biodiversity is divided into ecosystem diversity, species diversity and genetic diversity. An ecosystem can differ species based on the similarity of nature in their existence. For example, the rainforest has millions of species on it because it is most suitable in sustaining the needs of the organisms due to the rich resources it has. Biodiversity in the Philippines It is generally accepted that the Philippines terrestrial and marine habitats contain some of the richest biodiversities of flora and fauna, and its waters are considered a part of the biodiversity Coral Triangle. Further, many of these organisms are endemic to the Philippines. But even though Philippines uses all their resources at any time. Philippines experience an alarming rate of destruction of the important resources due to pollution, climate change, land degradation, deforestation, overexploitation, and fragmentation. and at worst, extinction. By these activities, the organism living in the Philippines rainforest struggles in death rate and if it’s continued, it goes to extinction.
