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

According to some people the biggest environmental problem of our era is the

loss

of fauna and flora while others believe there are other adversities like global warming and untreated wastes from industries which cause environmental pollution. I agree with the latter one. Some people argue that the biggest challenge we are faced with nowadays is,

loss

of several animal and plant species as far as pollution is concerned. The burning issue behind

this

is the

loss

of biodiversity which is very essential for maintenance of

food chain

Suggestion

the food chain

. Any species missing in the

food

chain are going to adversely affect the entire universe as human beings are part of

this

food

chain.

For example

, the recent attack of the locus on crops in Pakistan and India is the eventual result of illegal hunting of birds which fed on these creatures.

Hence

, it has adversely affected the agriculture and

food

supply is expected to be limited

this

year.

Therefore

, people believe that

loss

Suggestion

the loss

of certain animals and plants are the biggest problem nowadays.

On the other hand

, some people believe there are bigger issues like global warming affecting the environment.

This

global warming is caused by excessive burning of fossil fuels inside the cars and industries resulting in the emission of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. As these greenhouse gases absorb heat, the global temperatures rise and may result in melting of glaciers,

consequently

causing flood and storms. Another bigger dilemma is the release of industrial wastes into sea and ocean without adequate treatment. These industrial wastes contain harmful chemicals which are highly hazardous fro the environment and aquatic life. In conclusion,

although

the extinction of certain and plants and animals is an environmental problem, but

this

is neither sole nor the biggest issue, many other burning issues exist like global warming and industrial wastes, which needs international attention.
