For the past hundred years, with the tremendous expansion of humanity, massive human intervention in nature is observed. Many people opinioned that, loss of
biodiversity
is the prime environmental concern. While others argue that, there are a lot of other issues to be handled
first
about the environment. I completely agree with the former statement that the
destruction
of plant and animal resources is the principal problem that must get prime consideration. I will elaborate my views by bringing up the points
such
as ecological imbalance as well as disruption of the food cycle as a consequence of
such
loss.
To commence with, the
destruction
of
biodiversity
could end up in ecological imbalance. Since it is well known that plants and animals are the fundamentals of nature. The role played by
such
factors in the environment is beyond the thought of human beings.
For example
, plants and trees do not only play a key role in the regulation of atmospheric temperature but
also
a major factor in maintaining the water cycle. without sufficient greenery, it could result in the deterioration of rainfall. Since it is well known that, water is the basis of human life, deficiency of which could ultimately ruin the ecological balance which is already disturbed nowadays. Having analyzed the above facts it is well evident that the
destruction
of
biodiversity
should be given prime consideration.
Besides
, unhealthy human indulgence in nature, especially harming flora and fauna could disrupt the food chain. even if, people may consider it as an indirect effect, it has a wider impact on humanity.
For example
, if a particular animal or plant species get destroyed, it might affect other species which feed on them.
Initially
,
such
effects and results may not be evident.
However
, these have numerous long-term implications. With regard to studies conducted by environmentalists all over the world, nearly 20000 species have been extinct for the
last
20 years.
Such
a wider loss would have negative impacts on humans.
Hence
, it evident that the reduction of plants and animals have severe implications for human beings
Hence
, to conclude, the
destruction
of
biodiversity
even if it is un-important flora and fauna should be treated with caution.
This
matter should be given primary concern. I hope every country would be more vigilant over these issues than other mere concerns.
