An array of the Philippine's rarest and most beautiful breed are hidden in the far-flung rainforests of our islands.
If the city offers no more eye soothing sceneries, our jungles offer more than what your eyes can take.
A hundred, a thousand, or a million years may have passed, but this treasures are still here, unscathed by the assaults of technology and progress.
Or so we think
The Philippines is still fighting the battle of extinction. Its natural resources are rapidly being depleted especially, the endangered species. Our mother nature seems to have a small chance of declaring its independence.
The enemy is within. We may have the best and the biggest gadgets the world has to offer, but without the beauty of nature, all these would be meaningless. Imagine being stuck in a room all day, and finding out that the outside looks almost exactly like the the inside of your room.
Our indifference and laziness, will cause the extinction of our rarest breeds. Our endangered species will never experience the sweetness of home if we don't stop ourselves. Neither will we, if we continue to disregard the need for the protection of nature.
This issue calls for action!
Be aware of how precious these animals are!
We have to stop destroying their homes!
If not us, then who? If not now, when?
We all have a part and we know it.
