2. LEARNING COMPETENCY:
Relate species extinction to the failure of populations of organisms to adapt to abrupt changes in the
environment.
3. SPECIES EXTINCTION
When the last existing individual of that species dies. This
implies that there are no more surviving organisms that
could reproduce a new generation of offspring.
4. 4 TYPES OF SPECIES EXTINCTION
LOCAL EXTINCTION OR EXTIRPATION
EXTANT SPECIES
THREATENED OR ENDANGERED SPECIES
FUNCTIONALLY EXTINCT
5. LOCAL EXTINCTION OR EXTIRPATION- A species may be extinct in a particular area but continues to exist
elsewhere.
MONKEY
9. FUNCTIONALLY
EXTINCT-are those
preserved and maintain
only in zoos and other
artificial habitats
they are no longer
in the wild..
PANDA
LOCAL EXTINCTION OR EXTIRPATION- A species may be extinct in a particular area but continues to exist
elsewhere.
MONKEY
EXTANT SPECIES- that are not
extinct.
WILD CATS

10. 2 CAUSES OF EXTINCTION
NATURAL CAUSES OF EXTINCTION
Climate Change
Asteroids and Cosmic Radiation
Acid rain
Diseases and Epidemics
Introduction of Invasive Alien Species
ANTHROPOGENIC CAUSES OF EXTINCTION
Habitat Destruction
Pollution
Overexploitation
11. PROTECT BIODIVERSITY
HABITAT PROTECTION
VALUES INTEGRATION:
-it is more practical and effective to protect a habitat than to try to restore it after it has been
destroyed. A species cannot survive without a natural home. It is therefore of prime importance that
the habitat of a species remains intact.

answer in your answer sheet.

account for a fast rate of extinction in our country?
Justify your answer.
3.Do you think the government is doing its best to
address the major causes of plant and animal extinction
in our country? Why?
