Organisms are part of biodiversity and may
be economically and ecologically valuable.
Their products are a source of food,
medicine, clothing, shelter and energy. They
are important in maintaining the balance in
the ecosystem as they perform their specific
roles.

There is a need to conserve our native trees to prevent
extinction.

Reasons why we need to plant native trees.

• Native trees are beautiful in our landscape
• Highly adapted to our environment. Less maintenance, no fertilizer needed.
• Able to tolerate wet and dry season- typhoons and drought.
• It is our natural forest and as a symbiotic relationship to the land, water and animals
that has developed through the year.
• Provide food to humans and local animals-birds, insects and wild animals
• A source for alternative medicine
• Help restore water
• Native trees give us a sense of culture and heritage to be proud of as Filipino
• With so limited space, let us prioritize our threatened native trees over exotics
 Our native trees are threatened, vulnerable, endangered, physical

OF CHANGING ENVIRONMENTS

A Camouflage of a snake to look
for a prey.
ADAPTATIO
N
-refers to the ability of an organism to
survive and reproduce in an environment.
This may involve changes in behavior or
physical structure to survive. For example,
if we take a street dog (that lives in a tropic
place) in Alaska (cold country), it will
grow thicker fur to survive cold
temperature. Likewise, when a dog in a
cold country brought to the tropics, it will
shed its fur to adapt to the warm climate.
SPE C IE S DIVE RSITY: ADAPTAT ION & SURVIVAL
OF CHANGING ENVIRONMENTS

VARIATIO
N
-increases the chance of survival.
Organisms with the most desirable traits
would likely survive environmental
changes and gradually become better suited
to survive in a given environment; this is
called adaptation.

CAMOUFLAG
E
-Structural adaptation that enables an individual to blend with its
surroundings, and that allows an individual to avoid detection by
predators. Occurs when an individual “blend” into the
environment in the eyes of a potential predator.
 FORMS OF PHYSICAL ADAPTATI ON.

MIMICRY
A phenomenon in which an individual
gains some sort of survival advantage by
looking like an individual of another (often
more harmful) species. Is present when
one species has evolved to look like
another species in a way that will provide
some advantage. The best-known
examples of mimicry are those in which a
species mimics another that is toxic or
harmful to a potential predator.
