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

Many people suppose that the major environmental problem in our time is the
extinction
of some species of animals and plants. Others think that there are more issues
instead
. Personally, I strongly agree with both arguments because they’re both reasonable. The
extinction
of some plants and animals is a

the environment because of its impact.
For instance
, the over hunting that leads to the change in the food chain in the animal world. It is because that the disappear of herbivores, and that leads to the lack of food for the predators. Despite of
this
loss, some people still think the natural still remain unharmed if there still have animals to feed ourselves. In fact, some fisherman on around the world overdo their job so there’re some types of fishes are on the edge of
extinction
or completely extinct,
for example
, the blue whale.

the same time, with the excessive harvest, we’re destroying the plant world.
For example
, to build our city and house we have to mine mountains, flattened the forest, cut down trees to collect wood to build.

, we have poisoned other aspects of environments
such
as water, soil, air. The result of our action is a variety of other environmental problems on the Earth. On top of
that is
climate change, it is the reason of for the rise in temperature, and leads to a detrimental impact on both humans and animals. The climate change
also
causes more serious disasters
such
as drought, thunderstorm, earthquake and flood, which affect to the agriculture and living of human and other species.
Furthermore
, air pollution and water pollution cause harmful impacts on lives as lack of clean water and asthma as well. In conclusion, I think that the loss of some plants and animals should be warned, but it is just the consequence of more important environmental problems. I think we should concentrate our efforts on those problems rather than only focus on the animals and plants’
extinction
