Some people say that the main environmental problem of our time is the loss of particular species of plants and animals. Others say that there are more important environmental problems. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

The
loss
of some plants and animals should be seen as a main environmental problem because of its impact.
For example

disappeared. Some people said that we can feed ourselves with domestic castle and animals, so there is no harm to us. In fact, fisherman in some parts of the world cannot go fishing because of the
loss
of some particular types of fish
such
as whale.

On the other hand

Also
, climate change causes more frequent natural disasters of extreme weather that make our life more unpleasant. We can save wild animals and plants from their

, but the question is who can save us from ours. In conclusion, I think that the
loss
of some plants and animals should be worried, but it is just the consequence of more important environmental problems. I think we should concentrate our efforts on those problems rather than only focus on the animals and plants’
extinction
