Why Life science?
More than 7,100 islands fall within the borders of the Philippines hotspot, identified as one of the world’s biologically richest countries. The country is one of the few nations that is, in its entirety, both a hotspot and a megadiversity country, placing it among the top priority hotspots for global conservation.
