Dynamite fishing
Dynamite fishing is the one of the most pervasive fishing techniques and it is banned by most
countries. In southern Philippines, between Malaysia (Borneo) and Philippines (Palawan) Illegal
dynamite fishing is still a common practice.
Coastal erosion
Since the Philippines is a country of islands with a greater area of coastline, erosion can
cause a greater portion of land to be lost there. The country experiences stronger wind
and wave activity. The bleaching of coral reefs is also commonly done by local
businesses
Biodiversity loss
A primary threat considered is the continuous destruction of ecosystems and habitats that
support and provide shelter to the country's biodiversity. The Philippines has already lost
almost 93% of its original forest cover since 1990s.

facilities as well as infrastructure in the municipality of Banaue. As of 10;54 PM, Bontoc-Banaue
road was cleared and reported passable by the Banaue MPS.
Illegal mining and logging

land. Illegal logging on the other hand, usually refers to the selective felling of rare and
valuable trees for their wood. In a way illegal loggers can be thought of as tree poachers.

Roxas,Arceli,Puerto Princesa and Batarasa, according to Mallari. Mallari and his research
