Nurture Nature, Save FutureBy: Beatriz Colonia Jhonmher de Dios Jell Ferrer Vianca Geli

Genesis 1:26-31 26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our

likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

27 So God created mankind in his own image,    in the image of God he created them;    male and female he created them.

28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”

29 Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. 30 And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food.” And it was so.

31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.

Republic Act No.9147Aims to protect our country’s

fauna from illicit trade, abuse and destruction, through conserving and protecting wildlife species and their habitats, regulating the collection and trade of wildlife.

Conservation breeding or propagation of threatened species shall be encouraged to enhance its population in its natural habitat.

Breeding shall be done simultaneously with the rehabilitation and protection of the habitat where the captive-bred or propagated species shall be released or reintroduced.

The Act makes it unlawful for any person to undertake the following:

killing and destroying wildlife species, except when it is done as part of the religious rituals of established tribal groups or indigenous cultural communities, when the wildlife is afflicted with an incurable communicable disease, when it is deemed necessary to put an end to the misery suffered by the wildlife, or when it is done to prevent an imminent danger to the life or limb of a human being; when the wildlife is killed or destroyed after it has been used in authorized research or experiments.

For any person who undertakes these illegal acts, stiff penalties and fines are meted out. Imprisonment of as much as 12 years and a fine of P1 million pesos shall be imposed, if inflicted or undertaken against species listed as critical.

Ecological BalanceEcological balance is a term describing how ecosystems are organized in a state of stability where species coexist with other species and with their environment.

SAVE THE SURVIVORS

STOP THE “GIGIL” SAVE THE EAGLE!

Philippine EagleThe Philippine eagle (Pithecophaga

jefferyi) also referred to as monkey-eating eagle, is an eagle subspecies that belong to the family of Accipitridae and is native to Philippine.

They are also regarded as the rarest and the most powerful birds in the world. Philippine eagle is also the national bird of Philippine. One of the foremost causes of the population decline is habitat loss or deforestation.

Basic Facts about the Philippine Eagle

DietPhilippine Eagles feed on a variety of animals, such as

rats, snakes, small deer, birds, bats, flying lemurs, palm civets, flying squirrels and monkeys, and it snatches them in a low-level attack. 

Population Its numbers have slowly dwindled over the decades to the current population of 180 to 500 eagles. Breeding

Philippine Eagles mate for life and a pair will breed once every two years. The breeding season is between October and December and 1 - 2 eggs are laid. Incubation takes approximately 60 days and the youngsters are ready to fledge at 7 - 8 weeks old.

The young eaglets are independent at 5 months old and females reach sexual maturity at 3 - 5 years and males at 4 - 7 years of age. 

IN THE SACK? SAVE THE LEATHERBACK!

Sea Turtles Sea turtles (superfamily Chelonioidea),

sometimes called marine turtles. They are reptiles of the order Testudines.

There are seven species of sea turtles. They are the leatherback sea turtle, green sea turtle, loggerhead sea turtle, Kemp's ridley sea turtle, hawksbill sea turtle, flatback sea turtle and olive ridley sea turtle. Four of the species have been identified as "endangered" or "critically endangered" with another two being classed as "vulnerable".

Basic Facts about Sea Turtles DietWhat sea turtles eat depends on the subspecies, but some common items include jellyfish, seaweed, crabs, shrimp, sponges, snails, algae and mollusks. PopulationIt is difficult to find population numbers for sea turtles because male and juvenile sea turtles do not return to shore once they hatch and reach the ocean, which makes it hard to keep track of them. Temperature: Temperatures of the sand where the turtles

nest determine the sex of the turtle: below 85 degrees Fahrenheit (30ºC) is predominately male; above 85 degrees Fahrenheit (30ºC) is predominately female.Mating Season: March-October depending on the species.Gestation: 6-10 weeks.Clutch size: Between 70-190 eggs depending on the species.When the young hatch out of their eggs, they make their way to the ocean. Few survive to adulthood.

5 Things You Can Do To Save Sea Turtles

2. Reduce the Amount of Garbage You Produce and Clean Up Trash You See On the Beach.

3. Be Aware of Sea Turtle Nesting Areas and Avoid Nesting and Hatching Turtles.

4. Reduce the Amount of Chemicals You Use.
