As a student learning about our world, we have to preserve it in every way because we only have limited resources. We can’t be so selfish and use all of them as if we have everything when we actually don’t. We should save our animals, our trees, and our plants. Stop burning and killing everything because we need them! I wonder if each of us have a thought that we could actually help our world, let our world live longer for our future generations to live safely with their important needs. I was also able to learn about Davao City, I learned about their animals and plants but at the same time, they are being affected like illegal logging and dynamite fishing. Isn’t such a shame to hear that? Especially to our visitors from other countries. Now, I wished that people could see that we are destroying our world. Share this and make a difference for our whole entire world!

2. Buy local goods. Though imported goods are great, the local goods are great as well. It also supports your country, province or area.

3. Consume intelligently. Dont just buy and buy, buy things that you need and make sure to consume legal and safe products.

Well in this project I learned a lot about Davao city. Also about the animals living there, also their different names like their scientific name, genus and etc... I feel that we should do more of this so we can send it to the government of that specific country and this can help preserve the natural beauty of Mother Nature in that area. I wish we can do this again because it was a lot of fun and I'm sure this will help us preserve Mother Nature.

I learned that people are into social media always to solve bad things happening in our planet like illegal mining and illegal logging by educating them thru tumblr or any other social media apps. We chose tumblr for our blog, we put the effects of illegal logging and illegal mining. The effects are in illegal mining if you over mine it can cause landslide in a certain area. If you cut too much trees it will cause flood to happen in an area.

Why we need to stop overmining and illegal logging

We can stop illegal mining, illegal logging etc. by educating people because some people doesn't know what would happen if they mine or cut trees too much. If they cut trees too much there will be more floods. If they over mine there will be more landslides and natural disasters.

We learned a lot of things about biodiversity and ecology in Davao especially about the plants and animals there, examples are the Apo Myna, Chrysanthemums, the Philippine Eagle, etc. We also found out  how they maintain, preserve, and conserve it's biodiversity. Just like in Davao, there are many problems happening to the biodiversity all over the world. We should All be aware of how important Biodiversity is in our lives.

As a student we must complete our task to serve and preserve our environment as well as those who populate the whole environment. Each being has a contribution to the entire world, we may not feel the movement that has been made but it slowly improves over time. Each individual must serve and commit to one another to protect and further increase the growth of a biodiversity.

In this blog, I learned many things. First of all, I learned about the different animals and plants from the Davao region. I learned about the popular animals and plants like the Philippine Eagle and Waling-Waling and the lesser known ones, like the Apo Myna and the Philippine Oriole. Secondly, I learned the basic problems in the region which concerned mostly illegal acts that are still done today. Problems like illegal mining, illegal logging, and dynamite fishing. I learned why we need to conserve biodiversity everywhere while also learning how. I also found out about present day news that involved how animals are dying and affecting the biodiversity. After seeing our blog and the information we put in it. I found out how much we are actually taking from the environment and how it affects everything including the cause, which is us humans. Overall, I learned much about the Davao region and how much biodiversity is being affected by our actions and how much it costs us all. So, we should help as much as possible, for ourselves and for others, no matter how small or how big.
