Recently published figures show that the wildlife population around the world has decreased by around fifty percent over the last fifty years. What can we do to protect the wildlife around the world?

#figures #show #wildlife #population #world #fifty #percent #years
According to the data published recently, there has been a
decrease
 in animal
population
 globally over fifty years by around fifty percent. In my opinion, I believe that creating animal rights groups is one major way to combat
this
 menace.
Firstly
, in order to reduce the rate at which injustice is meted to animals, it is essential to create animal rights groups. These groups will help increase awareness about the
decrease
 in the
population
 of animals and
also
 educate the world about the importance of preserving the wildlife
population
.
Furthermore
, the
government
 can
also
 create laws forbidding the illegal killing of animals, and
also
 set fines for defaulters of the law.
For example
, after the Nigerian
government
 declared that any animal killer would be sentenced to three years imprisonment, there was a 30 percent
decrease
 in the death of animals. Measures like
this
 will help regulate the illegal killing of animals. Another point to consider is that animal lives can be preserved by the provision of an alternate source of protein for humans. One major reason why there has been a reduction in a wildlife
population
 is that man believes the purpose of animals on earth is mostly to serve as consumption. In order to prevent
this
 myth from spreading, the
government
 has to create awareness about other sources of protein that are as good as the ones gotten from animals.
For example
, the US
government
 is working with an artificial meat company which provides a burger that tastes exactly like animal meat but is not sourced from an animal. Once the
government
 keeps sponsoring discoveries like
this
 the need to kill animals for food will automatically
decrease
. In conclusion, in order to preserve wildlife, it is essential that the
government
 punishes anyone that kills any animal and
also
 promote discoveries of alternate source of meat for humans.

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

  • Summary
  • Restatement of thesis
  • Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

  • In conclusion
  • To conclude
  • To summarize
  • Finally
  • In a nutshell
  • In general
