Description

The purpose of this presentation will be to focus on the Philippines' ecological indicator species the Great Hammerhead Shark, which is currently at risk of extinction due to pressures faced from anthropogenic activities and climate change. We will be discussing the connections this species has across multiple sustainable development goals (SDGs) that affect the Philippines. These SDGs include life below water, economic growth, and good health and wellbeing. Through this analysis we will identify key factors that play an important role in maintaining the health of this species as well as the sustainable future of the country.
