Some people think that too much attention and too many resources have been given to the protection of wild animals and birds. To what extent do you agree or disagree

With the growing population and fast-paced industrial development, the extinction rate of wild

species

has been increasing dramatically in the past few decades. No one would deny the importance of protecting the biodiversity. Generally, I think it is justified to put tremendous efforts in conserving animals. There is no doubt that wild animals play vital roles in a great range of scientific research, especially that into medicines. Each living thing contains a unique reservoir of genetic material that cannot be retrieved or duplicated if lost. Today, a large proportion of prescriptions in many countries contain chemicals from animals and plants. It is hard to imagine a world where wild animals are dying out. In that case, there would be increasingly more people suffering from chronic disease or cancers which cannot be cured.

can set off a chain reaction affecting many others.

For instance

, as the national bird in New Zealand, kiwi was once on the verge of extinction, due to the overpopulation of

stoats

the territory occupied by one of the constituent administrative districts of a nation

states

which were introduced to control the growing population of rabbits. With rehabilitation programs of kiwi, the population of these endangered animals has been increasing slowly in the past few years. Overall, considering the fact that wild

species

are essential for the survival and well-being of humans, the importance of animal protection should not be negligible.
