Marine Biodiversity is one of the assets of the Philippines‚ and because of this‚ the country bear the title of the “Centre of Marine biodiversity”. But as timed passed by‚ little by little‚ this asset is being disturbed because of human deeds‚ and if the authorities didn’t do something‚ the once known asset may turn into a burden for us.

We are foolish and naïve to assume that our creek can be maintained as we constantly introduce new species into foreign ecosystems‚ and destroy biodiversity with the detrimental effects of human integration

Biodiversity Essay Does encaging the animals in such places as zoo and aquarium be clarified as preserving biodiversity? There are two sides to this issue. Main points that support the idea of keeping the animals in cages that often come up are zoos are able to provide protection and they can increase the population of those species who are endangered (Hurley‚ J). Some important points that are against the idea of encaging the animals include the animals develop abnormal behaviours and they believe
