In many places, new homes are needed, but the only space available for building them is in the countryside. Some people believe it is more important to protect the countryside and not build new homes there. What is your opinion about this. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience

Generally, around the world, population is increasing continuously, with some

places experiencing

places, experiencing

exponential increase, in their population.

Consequently

requires that new homes be built, to accommodate the growing population. Unfortunately, only the

countryside

offers the space, needed for

However

, some people feel that, the protection of the

countryside

is more important than building new homes, which, from my point of view, is reasonable. Building of new homes, would lead to the destruction of some natural habitats, that are beneficial to man, as well as encourage deforestation, which ultimately, would contribute to global warming.

This

essay, would discuss these reasons, in detail. The

countryside

is mostly a serene environment, made up of trees, different animal species, streams as well as other things, that make up the natural

ecosystem

. Constructing homes in these areas, would lead to the destruction of the natural

ecosystem

, which in turn, causes the displacement of these animal species, from their natural habitat and ultimately, death.

Furthermore

, siting homes

, would encourage deforestation, a phenomenon, highly discouraged, all over the world.

This

is simply because, felling of trees, contributes to global warming, something the world is seriously concerned about. Ultimately, the

countryside

loses its serenity, when new homes are built there, as these homes, will attract urbanization, to these areas. The Emene area of Enugu State, Nigeria, a previously calm and serene area, is an example of a

for survival and as

of destroying them, to build homes.
