5 Problem Invasive Species In The Philippines

Описание: In this video i will be focusing on the beautiful country of the Philippines. The Philippines is one of the most biodiverse areas on the planet with plenty of endemic animals such as the Philippine eagle and the Philippine freshwater crocodile. A lot of the endemic species in the Philippines are actually endangered or critically endangered so it is important that we protect these vulnerable species. Like most other highly populated areas, the Philippines is also home to some invasive species. In this video i will be going through just a few of these creatures as I will be going through 5 problem invasive species in the Philippines.
