    Organisms found in the Philippines that is included in the IUCN redlist. Give
    atleast 10 organisms (Flora or Fauna).

    1. Philippine Eagle (Pithecophaga jefferyi)


    - also known as the monkey-eating eagle, is listed as Critically Endangered on
    the IUCN Red List. This majestic bird is one of the largest and most powerful
    eagles in the world, but it's also one of the most threatened. The primary
    reason for its endangered status is the loss of its natural habitat due to
    deforestation
    2. Tamaraw (Bubalus mindorensis)
    - also known as the Mindoro dwarf buffalo, is included in the IUCN Red List as
    Critically Endangered because of habitat loss and hunting.
    3. Philippine Crocodile (Crocodylus mindorensis)
    - also known as the Mindoro crocodile or the Philippine freshwater crocodile, is
    included in the IUCN Red List as Critically Endangered because of their habitat
    loss and degredation. This species is found in freshwater habitats such as
    rivers, lakes, and marshes.
    4. Visayan Warty Pig (Sus cebifrons)
    - endemic to six of the Visayan Islands in the central Philippines. Its natural
    habitat, which includes forests and grasslands, has been significantly reduced
    due to deforestation and conversion of land for agriculture and human
    settlements. This loss of habitat has greatly impacted the population of the
    species.
    5. Palawan Peacock-Pheasant (Polyplectron napoleonis)
    - endemic to the island of Palawan in the Philippines. Ongoing habitat loss,
    primarily due to deforestation and conversion of land for agriculture and
    human settlements, has significantly reduced its available habitat. This loss of
    habitat has had a negative impact on the population of the species.
    6. Rafflesia Schadenbergiana: This is one of the largest flowers in the world and is
    found in Mindanao
    7. Paphiopedilum Ciliolare: This is a species of orchid that is native to the
    Philippines. It's considered endangered due to habitat loss and over-collection
    8. Medinilla Magnifica: Also known as the showy medinilla or rose grape, this plant
    is native to the Philippines.
    9. Nepenthes Attenboroughii: This pitcher plant, named after Sir David

    10. Shorea Astylosa: This is a species of plant in the family Dipterocarpaceae, and
