    freshwater vertebrates) with a staggering 90% of them (36 species) being endemic to the
    country. This high level of endemism makes the archipelago a high-priority region for
    averting extinctions of ASAP species.

    ANIMAL EXTINCTION AWARENESS

    Extinction is the irreversible loss or extermination of animal species. It happens when the last
    members of a species die because they cannot acquire the food, water, shelter, and/or space
    necessary to survive.

    Animal species serve as the foundation of healthy ecosystems. When a species becomes
    endangered, it indicates that the ecosystem is deteriorating. If there is too much imbalance, the
    entire ecosystem collapses. Each species that goes extinct triggers the loss of other species in its
    ecosystem as all living things are interconnected in a web life. Hence, saving one species entails
    saving its habitat as well as the other species that live there.
