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.

It is obvious that the planet is in great danger, but people disagree over whether the main problem is the loss of certain

species

or other issues

such

as climate change.

This

essay will discuss both views and conclude that they are both interrelated, and that there is no one problem

that is

the worst. Around the

world

,

species

of animals and plants are dying at a shocking rate. Forests are being cut down to make way for giant cattle farms, while endangered animals are being poached so that their body parts can be sent to China to make fake medicines.

This

is a devastating trend not just because these animals don’t deserve to die, but because biodiversity is tremendously important to the planet. When sharks are killed,

for example

, it is not just the sharks that die. The whole underwater ecosystem faces collapse, which can be catastrophic for the

world

. Other problems exist aside from just the loss of

species

. Major environmental issues today include climate change.

This

is caused by many factors

such

as air pollution and the loss of forests and coral reefs, and it has massive potential ramifications,

such

as sea level rises and

desertification

. Ultimately,

this

could lead to the extinction of humanity and the destruction of our

world

.

However

, to say that it is worse than the extinction of certain

species

overlooks the fact that they are related. When we kill certain plants and animals, we are contributing to climate change indirectly, and all of these environmental tragedies bring the

world

closer to complete destruction. In conclusion, there are many ways in which humans are wreaking havoc on the planet, but it is hard to say that one is worse than another because they all add up to the same result.
