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 views and give your own opinion.

Some would argue that nowadays the most important environmental issues is the

problem

of endangered species of flora and fauna, while others claim that there are much more crucial environmental issues. While some people think that the disappearance of rare species is a primary concern because

such

drastic events may have a negative impact on the ecosystem of our planet, I believe that the air pollution is much more significant environmental consequence as it causes serious diseases.  The loss of particular representatives of flora and fauna may have a negative effect on natural processes.

In other words

, the disappearance of animals and plants may negatively influence other animals and organisms and break a natural order.

For example

, according to the National Geographic magazine, the loss of blue sharks as a specie caused a dramatic increase in the number of extremely toxic jellyfish in the Pacific Ocean.

However

, I believe that a pollution

problem

is much more crucial as it puts people's health in danger. It is

also

thought by some that the contamination of an atmosphere by toxic substances is

uch more dangerous issue as it may provoke fatal diseases. It is a well-known fact that transport and industrial plants emit thousands of tonnes of carbon dioxide gases almost every day that pollute the air and cause different diseases,

such

as lung cancer and brain damage.

For instance

, a recent Cambridge University report found that the number of citizens suffered from lung cancer because of toxic emissions almost doubled in 2019 compared to 2017.

This

is why I believe that

such

dreadful statistics prove the significance of

this

environmental question. In conclusion,

although

some people think that the

problem

of endangered species is the main

problem

related to the environment because the loss of particular plants and animals may provoke irreversible changes in nature, air pollution is much more dangerous issue because it causes serious illnesses.
