Question

I'd like to know how many species there are per island of the Philippines

Answer 1

There were so many reports that I only had time for this link... And thank you for asking this question----this is very serious!!



Of the 172 species of birds that are unique to the Philippines, 75 are listed as endangered.

All but one of the 172 endemic species, and all of the 75 endangered species, are dependent on forest for their survival, and many on undisturbed rain forest. The Philippines is the only country in the world to be entirely covered by the Endemic Bird Areas (EBAs) recognized by Birdlife International. Three of these EBAs in the central Philippines are among the ten highest priority conservation areas for birds worldwide. The Philippines is third highest in the world (after Indonesia and Brazil, which are more than 20 times larger) for the number of globally threatened bird species, and is first in the world for the number (40) of endangered and critically endangered unique bird species. Again we see clear evidence that the number and proportion of bird species that are threatened correlates with the amount of destruction of old-growth forest that has occurred within each region. Cebu, for example, which is the most thoroughly deforested island in the country—it has almost no native vegetation remaining—had 14 species and subspecies of birds that are found nowhere else in the world. Three of these are now extinct, and all but one of those still living are believed to be represented by fewer than 100 individuals in the entire population. One of these, the exquisite Cebu flowerpecker, is the most endangered species of bird in the world, with only four individuals known to be alive. The destruction of rain forest habitat may have doomed these birds, just as it has caused Cebu City, the second largest city in the Philippines, to ration water and to suffer increasingly from saltwater contamination of wells because of the vast decline in rainwater entering the groundwater system.
Birds and mammals are the best-known groups of organisms in the world; for the others, so little is known that global comparison of numbers of endangered species is not possible. However, as the Philippine Red Data Book published in 1997 demonstrates, there are endangered reptiles, amphibians, and butterflies in many parts of the Philippines, and a wide range of sources document the ever-increasing numbers of plant species endangered by habitat destruction and over-harvesting.
Taken together, these data form the basis for Conservation International's recent description of the Philippines as having the most severely endangered plant and animal communities on earth. Other, much larger countries may have more endangered species and patches of forest, but nowhere are the problems more intense and proportionately more significant.
