Obstacles to Growth
High fertility rates› consequent rapid
population growth (2.3% per year)
Very high rates of in-fectious diseases (Ex. tuberculosis)

Lack of technical skills, financial capacity, and political will to protect the natural en-vironment› Threatens basic food security and glob-
ally significant biological diversity
Acceleration of rural to urban migration over the short-term› Greater stress on inadequate infrastruc-
ture› Large parts of the Philippines could be
uninhabitable over the long-term

Environmental Issues
Overfishing and Destructive Fishing

Coastal infrastructure development
› Excavation, dredging, and coastal con-version to accommodate coastal devel-opment
› Corals extracted for reclamation and construction
› Mangroves suffered from the aquacul-ture industry 36% reduction of mangroves from
1990

ened Endemic species
