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.

It is said that countries have the responsibility of taking care of native ecosystems, including animals and plants. Currently, many places are suffering from lack of water, deforestation, change of temperature and many other related problems. It is believed that the destruction of

species

is the biggest environmental issue.

However

, others think

this

issue is not the most important one. I strongly agree with the

first

idea and I will provide

further

information. On one hand, every ecosystem keeps a balance in which animals and vegetation coexist. With the introduction of humans in these environments, native inhabitants numbers have decreased. Water is used to satisfy many industrial processes, allowing

dangererous

Correct your spelling

dangerous

liquids to contaminate rivers and lakes. Being contaminated by these substances, fishes and submarine plants died. The water continues its way until arriving at oceans, where every substance kills other marine

species

.

On the other hand

, the use of pesticides contaminates the ground, some processes of extraction of minerals

such

as gold and silver destroy the earth, gases expelled by industries and cars pollute the air. Every human activity is affecting life, but under any circumstances can

this

problem be compared to the scale of destroying entire

species

. To sum up, it is my belief that the loss of a 'simple'

species

of insect has an important impact because it breaks the cycle of life,

this

insect could be the meal of other organisms. Every living being has its own space and place on the planet and the disappearance of just one will affect an ecosystem.
