Ang malawakang pagkasira ng ating ecosystem ay nagdudulot ng malaking epekto sa kalagayan ng ating biodiversity at ng iba’t ibang uri ng ating mga halaman at hayop.
Ang pagnanais nating mapabilis ang pag-unlad sa pamamagitan ng pagpapatayo ng iba’t ibang industriya at gusali sa ating mga lupaing dati ay gubat, kakahuyan o sakahan ay siya ring pumipigil sa kakayahan nating matiyak na may sapat tayong ani para sa […]
The health of our planet is fast declining.
Massive destruction in our ecosystems has led to the collapse of our biodiversity and our flora and fauna species. The wanton conversion of our lands has curtailed our ability to secure food and water and to adapt to extreme weather events.
