Forest in our country are very rich in biodiversity. Many of our plants and animals could be found in the rainforests. It is due to the constant high temperature and humidity in the tropics. Unfortunately, many forests are threatened due to deforestation. The primary reason are commercial logging and cutting of trees to provide for their agricultural needs.

The Philippines is a mountainous country Forests help reduce the risks of flooding and landslide because trees plant roots help keep the land from crumbling and absorb water. Tree produce oxygen so without trees or plant we can't breath the tree use energy from sunlight to make glucose from carbon dioxide and water. Like all plants, trees also use oxygen when they split glucose back down.

Since independence from the Americans, the population has grown almost five times to more than 90 million Filipinos. Forest cover is down to about 20 percent or less of total land area. Given how little remains, the Philippines competes with countries such as Burundi, Togo, Honduras and Nigeria for the title of ‘world’s highest rate of percent loss of forest cover.’ If the current rate of deforestation is maintained, no forest cover is expected to remain within the next decade. More than 10 million hectares of virgin forest, present at the time of independence, will have been completely lost. What processes led to postwar deforestation in the Philippines? One might think that habitat loss and its consequences are purely scientific questions or issues that can be addressed by using only the tools and approaches of the ‘natural’ sciences. However, certain questions, such as those posed in this article, cannot be answered by the natural sciences alone. In addition, many of the problems confronting Filipinos as well as the rest of humanity cannot be solved by technology (the application of natural science) alone
