The Wildlife of the Philippines has a significant number of plant and animal species that are endemic in the Philippines. The country's surrounding waters reportedly[who?] have the highest level of biodiversity in the world. The Philippines is considered as one of the seventeen Megadiverse countries as well as global biodiversity hotspot. In the 2000 Red List of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN), 418 of the country's 52,177 species were listed as threatened.
