In order to stop ecological degradation, we must all work together. The smallest of changes can cause a big difference. If you want to make a change, you must start with yourself.
Personal Action Plan:
Ecological Sustainability
The world's population has rapidly increased in the last 50 years, more than doubling to reach 6.5 billion people in the world today. The current rate at which humans consume resources and produce waste is unsustainable. The Earth will not be able to maintain this imbalance forever. Ecological sustainability is the belief that all humans must use resources wisely and efficiently so that these resources never become exhausted or over polluted.

Indigenous and Endangered Species
An endangered species is one which has been categorized by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) as likely to become extinct. Conservation biologists use the IUCN Red List, where "endangered" is the second most severe conservation status for wild populations, following critically endangered.
To be one of the last few of your kind can get lonely. Imagine how it is for endangered animals, and yet some people still continue to capture these animals to get what they want.

The extinction of a species can cause major damage to the ecosystem. All living things, in some ways, are connected. If one goes missing, everything else would be affected. The circle of life will be disrupted. We are doing our best to protect these endangered species for them to not become extinct.

Ecological Degradation
Ecological degradation is the deterioration of the environment through the depletion of resources such as air, water, and soil; the destruction of ecosystems and the extinction of wildlife.
This degradation can cause damages to the habitats of different animals. This can cause animals to lose their homes, and without their homes, their chances of survival become very slim.
In the Philippines, our environment is slowly becoming more polluted. If this continues, our environment will not be able to sustain life. With this in mind, we have taken measures toward rehabilitation; to make our environment the way it was before; before it was polluted.
When I was younger, I participated in different tree plantings. It felt really good knowing that I was doing something for the environment. The thought that I was making a change, no matter how small, made me happy.
