With advancements in technology and progression in aspects of globalisation and urbanisation, greater attention is being paid to address ways in which improvements can be made to sustain the environment.

I, however, believe that individuals have the ability to make phenomenal changes that are sustainable to the environment taking into consideration that collectively individuals have a greater reach into their communities and are therefore able to educate, motivate, monitor and continuously improve the environment, even in the smallest ways possible, especially through lifestyle changes.

Wild Animals have no place in the 21st century, so protecting them is a waste of resources. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Some people argue that it is pointless to spend money on the protection of wild animals because we humans have no need for them. I Completely disagree with this point of view.

Furthermore, there is no compelling reason why we should let animals die out. We do not need to exploit or destroy every last square meter of land in order to feed or accommodate the world's population. There is plenty of room for us to exist side by side with wild animals, and this should be our aim. I also disagree with the idea that protecting animals is a waste of resources. It is usually the protection of natural habitats that ensures the survival of wild animals, and most scientists agree...
