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

With the advent of urbanization and rise in modern technology, there have been accompanying issues with the environment. Some people believe that, preserving endangered

species

of plants and animals should be the sole matter of concern. Personally, I strongly advocate the opposite view. In my opinion, issues

such

as global warming, are very detrimental to the environment and should be taken into consideration. In

this

essay, I shall examine a number of studies which show that both the viewpoints are, to some degree, justified. On one hand, there is ample, powerful, almost daily evidence that preserving

species

, which are on the verge of extension,

is

are

absolutely necessary. Many plants and animals play a very crucial role in balancing our ecosystem. With heavy deforestation and illegal animal killing, our ecosystem is now out of proportion and our survival is at heavy risk.

For example

, a recent study published by Oxford University illustrated that, we are now 50% more prone towards many fatal natural disasters

such

as drought and flood.

However

,

on the other hand

, issues

such

as ozone layer depletion, global warming that are solely caused by human activities are having a detrimental effect on every living organism on

this

planet, should be ameliorate.

This

is borne out by a study completed at University of Melbourne which demonstrated that, due to increase in concentration of Carbon dioxide, Methane and other greenhouse gases, a large number of people are now suffering from life threatening chronic diseases

such

as Cancer and Asthma.

In addition

, climate change

also affects

the migration patterns of many animals,

as a result

,

species

who are unable to adapt, are now diminishing at a very fast pace.

Therefore

, seen in

this

light, it is clearly unfounded to claim that, these issues are correlated with each other. In conclusion, it is probably certainly the case that preserving endangered

species

should be a top priority for the government.

Nonetheless

, I am still convinced that, issues

such

as global warming are

also

very threatening for the environment
