As I was watching the news a while ago, a sea cow or
"dugong" was again spotted in the gulf of Davao. Before, I don't believe
that it does exist but after I saw a documentary film about it I knew that it is
real and has a special function in our ecosystem. Now, the sea cow is near
extinction and a growing number of concerned group of individuals around the
world is working to educate people about it. Many don't know that it has been
hunted long time ago primarily because it is a source of food, it has a taste
and texture similar to a beef. Also, it can be a source of lamp oil, their skin
can also be a good material for shoes, belts and even a skin-covered boats. I
hope many people will now be concerned about the sea cow.
