Article/Topic:
Environmental issues in the Philippines

My intention is to edit the lead section of this article by updating sources, changing the introductory sentence, and ensuring all discussed topics in the body sections are reflected in the lead section.

The necessary edits I have come across are the following:


 * 1) A new lead sentence, written by using other environmental issues lead sections as reference.
 * 2) A citation for the sentence: "Being a country that lies in the Pacific Ring of Fire, it is prone to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. In addition, the country is surrounded by large bodies of water and facing the Pacific Ocean where 60% of the world's typhoons are made[according to whom?]."
 * 3) A citation for the sentence: "One of the most devastating typhoons that hit the Philippines in 2013 was Typhoon Haiyan, or "Yolanda," that killed over 10,000 people and destroyed over a trillion pesos worth of properties and damage to various sectors[citation needed]."
 * 4) A citation for the sentence: "Other environmental problems that the country is facing include pollution, illegal mining and logging, deforestation, dynamite fishing, landslides, coastal erosion, wildlife extinction, global warming and climate change[citation needed]."

 * On the above plan, #4 is good. #2 &3 might be edited, and then you add citations to them. Yes, rewrite #1.
 * Since the theme of this project is Climate Change. As you go through your sources, you should be able to expand this lead section by adding 1-2 sentences that highlight(s) The Philippines as one of the most countries at risk of climate change. What are the implications of this issue? Instead of only listing the problem, help the reader think about the impacts of policies and socio-cultural factors. Alternatively, I suggest you instead edit the lead section of the Wikipedia article on Climate change in the Philippines. E.g.: Here are a source that you can use for talking about climate change impacts: Cuevas, Sining C. "Institutional dimensions of climate change adaptation: insights from the Philippines." Climate policy 18, no. 4 (2018): 499-511. You also can do a Google Scholar search with the combination of keywords "climate adaptation" "Philippines."
 * The last two sources are news articles. Let's not use them in this Wikipedia project.
 * The first source is famous, but it's a bit old. I am not sure how you will use it for the lead section, unless you need to add several sentences about The Philippines has had a rich culture in disaster management. If so, try to use some newer sources of the same authors that I assigned to you on the class date Feb-7.
 * On your Canvas discussion post on "Content gaps," you explain well about how you'll use source #3, but I'm not sure if you can do so in the lead section.

Next steps: 1) Revise your bibliography by adding notes about the sources you'll use to write your additional sentences on climate change impacts. You might want to add 1 or 2 sources that you need to write about climate change issues in the Philippines. 2) Start to work on your Draft in your Sandbox Draft. Make sure you've carefully read the guide on your Sandbox Draft how to copy and paste materials in this sandbox.

 * This book discusses the relationship between natural hazards and communities throughout the Philippines. I believe it can be used to step away from the geographic focus in environmental crises in the article's lead sentence without removing connecting factors entirely.

 * This book gives an overview on major issues impacting communities within Southeast Asia, the bibliography section provides a useful list of topics and references that can be used to cite the list of environmental problems in the Philippines in the last sentence of the lead section.

 * A newer academic publication with an updated list of environmental problems in the Philippines to cite in the last sentence of the lead section. The multitude of topics discussed throughout the article will also be useful for finding additional articles to further cite ay points made.

 * This is an academic publication that has firm numbers on Typhoon Haiyan so the citation issues for that sentence can be updated. If the 10,000 estimate was to stay that could be an aside that is cited as an approximation by the Vergano article below but not an official number.
