On the other end of the spectrum‚ there is the tropic regions that have an increase in water from storms. However‚ this increase of water might sound like a benefit‚ but many of the times this increase of water means that crops will be flooded‚ homes are destroyed and water supplies are containment from the overflow of sewers and fertilized fields. A higher frequency in storms cause much more stagnant water to occur‚ which can result in an increased mosquito population‚ and the increased risk of

UNIQUE AND THREATENED BIODIVERSITY The patchwork of isolated islands‚ the tropical location of the country‚ and the once extensive areas of rainforest have resulted in high species diversity in some groups of organisms and a very high level of endemism. There are five major and at least five minor centers of endemism‚ ranging in size from Luzon‚ the largest island (103‚000 km²)‚ which‚ for example‚ has at least 31 endemic species of mammals‚ to tiny Camiguin Island (265 km²) speck of land north
