Vulnerable ecosystems in Eastern Visayas
Excerpt
Biodiversity is an important factor in improving our ecosystem because each species of plants or animals, no matter how small, all have an important role to play. It is often used to measure the health of biological systems, and to determine whether there is a danger that too many species have become extinct. Because of its significance, the Philippine Science High School-Eastern Visayas Campus (PHSH-EVC) in Palo, Leyte emphasized the importance of preserving biodiversity in the region through the Biodiversity and Vulnerable Ecosystems Research (BiVER) Program.
