some people say that the main environmental problem facing our time is the loss of particular species of plants and animals. others say that there are more important environmental problems.

This

age is beset by numerous environmental problems, one of which is the extinction of certain types of plants and animals. Some say

this

is the most significant challenge

to

Suggestion

of

the environment, others opine that there are more serious dangers that should be considered. In

this

essay, I will be discussing both views and offering my opinion. The loss of endangered species of plants and animals would pose significant risks to the environment by distorting the ecosystem. Pollination of much needed food and cash crops would be at

risk

, and

this

could affect agricultural yield and in turn exacerbate hunger in at

risk

areas of the world.

This

risk

nonetheless

, I concur with the view that other environmental problems

such

as flooding, wildfires, tsunamis, hurricanes and other natural disasters are by far the most significant problem of our age. Natural disasters ravage large swathes of land, destroy livelihoods and put countries at

risk

of drought, famine and economic recession.
