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

It is considered by some people that the extinction of some breeds of plants and animals is the primary concern of our environment while others think that there are other environmental problems which supersede these problems.I think issues

such

as deforestation and global warming are more alarming.

This

essay will discuss both views and provide an opinion as well in the end. A wide variety of plants and animals have proved beneficial for the country since time long.

First

of all,wide

species

of plants and animals attract tourists from all over the world

thus

boosting the country's economy.

For instance

,Indonesia is well known for its diverse

species

of animals which have made it one of the most preferred tourist destination.

Moreover

,to preserve these

species

many national parks,biosphere reserves and protected areas have been developed which give employment to a large number of people.

Thus

some people think that a reduction in the number of these

species

might be a serious problem.

On the other hand

, some environmental problems which are of major concern are increasing global temperature and the widespread cutting of trees.Recently,there has been a significant

increase

in the use of cars, refrigerators , air conditioners etc. ,which emit harmful gases in the environment, causing an abrupt rise in the temperature of the earth.

For example

, the melting of glaciers and rising sea level are effects of the

increase

in temperature of the earth.

In addition

,trees provide us with oxygen and forests serve as the home for many animals.But the clearing for trees and forests for industrial purposes is causing the death of many animals.To illustrate, a recent survey from the United Nations has confirmed that the

increase

in death of animals over the world is mainly because of the clearing of forests.These issues have dire consequences on the environment and are

thus

considered important by some people. To conclude,

although

the loss of

species

of flora and fauna have serious effects on humans, environmental issues

such

as global warming and deforestation should be considered significant.The rapid

increase

in sea level over the years and threats to human life has proved the importance of these problems.
