The wildlife in Marinduque holds a special place in my heart because they are not just animals; they are guardians and keepers of our natural heritage. If we do not take swift action, these magnificent creatures will lose their home, and the rich natural resources that they are a part of will vanish.

Marinduque, known for its vibrant biodiversity, is home to numerous unique species that are at risk due to increasing threats from illegal hunting, habitat destruction, and climate change. The Philippine Tarictic Hornbill, the Marinduque Pit Viper, and many other endemic species face the bleak reality of becoming endangered or even extinct if we do not act now.

The preservation of Marinduque’s wildlife is not merely a local issue but a matter of national and global concern. By protecting these species, we safeguard biodiversity and ensure the balance of ecosystems which benefits us in countless ways, from maintaining climate stability to improving water and air quality.

I urge the local government and environmental organizations to strengthen and enforce policies that protect these vulnerable species. We need to invest in conservation efforts such as habitat restoration, anti-poaching initiatives, and community education programs that aim to empower and involve local inhabitants in conserving their environment.
