Some people say that the main environmental problem is the loss of particular species of plants and animals. Others say that there are more important environmental problems. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Planet earth or
in other words
to say our home is now dealing with problems that mankind has caused. And many facts relate to environmental problems directly or indirectly. But the most severe consequences of our worsening environment are endangered
wildlife
and plants. Surely, other reasons can be arguable
such
as water pollution, deforestation, desertification and many more. While I cannot deny that the impact of natural disasters
also
are important, but I am certain that the extinction of
wildlife
and plants would be catastrophic among the others for the planet earth.
Then
why are we facing with endangering the
wildlife
?
First
, while we- humans are establishing a more comfortable and easier life for ourselves,
also
we are damaging the environment by cutting mass trees, killing animals and polluting seas.
For instance
, large food companies still use ground nets for catching many more fish,
although
this
method banned because it causes massive damage to undersea life. And as a consequence of being a consumption society, people are getting more selfish about their needs and pleasures no matter what cost. Giving an example, in China, there is rising a food fashion which calls "shark fin soup". Cutting the fins of sharks to make a soup and let them into the sea or ocean without their fins
also
means that leave them to death just for a glimpse of pleasure. It is clear that our selfish behaviour against the planet impact detrimental consequences.
On the other hand
, destructive storms, remarkable fluctuations in climate, melting of the glaciers are causing a significant effect on the environment.
However
, the real fact behind these events is related to endangered species and plants. A good illustration of
this
is the rain forests of Amazon. As lungs of the world, Amazon forests are now facing the danger of extinction by large and global food companies. Cutting the massive amount of trees
also disturb
Suggestion
also disturbs
is also disturbing
the species that live in the forests.
Besides
, reducing the trees across the world
also
impacts negatively on the balance of the air. In conclusion, there is no doubt that disturbing the
wildlife
and plants would be catastrophic consequences for mankind. As human beings, we connect the whole living creatures that are living on
this
planet and we have to learn how to respect them and live together with.
