Which is the major cause of extinction of wildlife?
There are five major causes of extinction: habitat loss, an introduced species, pollution, population growth, and overconsumption.
Which Philippine animal is the most in danger of becoming extinct?
The critically endangered Tamaraw, also known as the Mindoro dwarf water buffalo, is considered the most threatened mammal in the Philippines. It was believed to be extinct as its last recorded sighting was in 1992 at Mt. Calavite Wildlife Sanctuary (MCWS) in Mindoro.
What are the causes of extinction or depletion of wildlife?
The extinction of any species is an irreversible loss of part of the biological richness of the Earth. Extinction can be a natural occurrence caused by an unpredictable catastrophe, chronic environmental stress, or ecological interactions such as competition, disease, or predation.
What are the 6 natural causes of extinction?
Extinction occurs when species are diminished because of environmental forces (habitat fragmentation, global change, natural disaster, overexploitation of species for human use) or because of evolutionary changes in their members (genetic inbreeding, poor reproduction, decline in population numbers).
What are the 4 major causes of species loss in a geographical region?
Habitat loss and fragmentation, over exploitation, alien species invasion and co-extinction are causes for

Why is that more species are declining in the Philippines and others are becoming endangered and almost extinct?
Aside from having a limited range, the species is declining because of habitat conversion (due to agriculture and logging) and hunting.
Which of the following species in the Philippines are in danger of extinction?
