Both governments and individuals are spending vast amounts of money protecting animals and their habitat. This money could be better spent dealing with fundamental issues in society such as poverty and health care. To what extent do you agree?

It is often observed that a hefty amount of resources is deployed on protecting animals and their habitats by both states and people. It is argued that

such

resources could be better spent in tackling other basic problems in

society

namely

poverty

and health care. I support

this

view that

instead

of allocating resources extensively on preserving animals and their natural

environment

, it is more sensible to address pressing issues of the

society

. Many countries around the world are facing an enormous number of problems. One of these problems is

poverty

. According to the UN report, more than half of the people in the world are living below the

poverty

line.

This

means that either they have no-access or limited access to food

such

a miserable situation, it seems illogical and insensible that the governments and the people who are better off spend their money on protecting animals and their habitat, while the poor are disenfranchised of basic life necessities.

society, but

also

compel poor to commit crimes or sometimes suicide.

For instance

, recently in a slump of Karachi, a disheartened father tried to take his own life, when his children who did not eat anything for days, asked him for food.

In contrast

, if the government or people used their money to eradicate

poverty

and hunger,

this

would have never happened.

Moreover

,

poverty

gives birth to several other problems

such

as pollution, which not only affects our

environment

, but other species as well.

In other words

, when people are not able to take care of themselves, how will they be able to take care of their

environment

? Due to

poverty

, insufficient sanitary facilities and improper sewerage infrastructure in developing countries, rivers and oceans are polluted to a point that they are no more inhabitable for aquatic biodiversity.

For example

, a recent survey showed that a variety of fish population has been reduced to almost half in the Indus River, owing to industrial and residential waste being dumped into the river.

Therefore

, it is crucial to allocate funds for the development of

such

infrastructures, which not only improves

lives, but

also

saves other species and their habitats. To conclude, while other people’s opinion may vary, in my opinion, the governments and the

society

should put in ample funding to address fundamental issues

such

as

poverty

and its related problems which directly affects people and the

environment

rather than on the matters that are merely the result of the above factors.
