An alarming 418 species are currently listed as threatened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). This includes the critically endangered Philippine Eagle, considered one of the rarest and most powerful birds in the world, along with the endangered Tamaraw, a species of buffalo only found in the Philippines.
