But today, in a world of rapidly advancing industrialization and massive ecosvstem destruction, these very animals that sustain us are to be lost through the hazards of extinction. A Japanese author once said: I believe all animals were provided by God to help keep man alive. Nothing can be truer than that tiny proverb proclaimed years before the threat of progress began destabilizing our ecosystems. We must open our eyes and realize the value these animals bring to our daily living, to the minute joys they bring to our lives. These animals have gone hand in hand with the greatest animal of all, homo sapiens sapiens. With the threat encompassing even the archipelago of the Philippines, now is not a time sooner for all of us to get our acts together in saving the biodiversity that inhabits this Earth.
