main problem due to the deleterious effects it generates.
First
of all, the extinction of some
animals
may cause ecological imbalance as it disrupts the
food
chain and habitat.
For example
, some
animals
cannot feed themselves if their preys disappear and some
animals
may struggle to live when the plants that are home to them die out. Gradually, other creatures will soon become extinct because of
food
scarcity and habitat loss.
Furthermore
, the medicine and
food
industry may suffer from lacking materials. Extracts from particular
animals
or plants are essential in the production of some medicine and
food
.
Thus
, when an animal's existence comes to an end, scientists have to spend more time, money and even develop new systems to find other alternative sources.
On the other hand
, people should
also
be aware of other environmental
problems
caused by pollution. Different types of pollution are creating various health hazards.
For example
, emissions from vehicles and industrial plants lead to air pollution which may cause respiratory illnesses
such
as asthmas, lungs cancer. Harmful chemicals from pesticides, fertilizers and untreated wastes discharged into rivers can cause skin-related diseases or even cancers when people use the contaminated water.
In addition
, excessive use of chemicals in agriculture and improper farming contribute to soil degradation and the unhealthy
food
grown on that land may damage our health gradually. In conclusion, environmental
problems
should be perceived from different angles and there is no issue
