"We can only do so much..." It
was an excuse coming from Dr. Mundita Lim when we made some reactions on the
current status of the illegal trade/ exploitation of Philippine wildlife.
During
the Green Bloggers Meet Up, Dr. Lim showed us the vast decline in the numbers
of endemic species that can be found in the natural habitat. In her
presentation on Biodiversity, she have shown us a lot of flora and fauna being poached, killed or
sold in the black market, and patronized by locals or foreigners or being shipped
to other countries like China.
