In many countries, the number of animals and plants is declining. Why do you think this is happening? How can this issue be solved?

Currently, the loss witnessed in variety and number in both

plants

and animals is indeed disheartening for the entire world. There are several manmade factors responsible for

this

situation.

However

, appropriate measures can certainly help to tackle

this

problem.

To begin

with, there are three major reasons that are accountable for loss in a variety of

plants

and animals.

For instance

, deforestation is the biggest culprit, as trees and

plants

are cut down for development in infrastructure, urbanization, industrial estates and power

plants

which resulted in the extinction of a diversity of vegetation.

Consequently

, creatures that rely on

plants

die out of starvation and lack of shelter.

Moreover

, globalization has given birth to immense industrial and economic growth causing huge pollution and global warming. Many animal and plant

species

could not withstand the weather changes,

thus

vanished.

Finally

, the population is one of the major factors for

this

phenomenon.

In other words

, to fulfil the demands of mushrooming population fertile lands are utilized to grow cash crops and the land of the wildlife is snatched in the process leading to havoc.

However

, the situation can be improved by taking some steps.

Firstly

, by creating sanctuaries many

species

of

plants

and animals can be protected. To explain, endangered

plants

and creatures can be raised and saved in human restricted areas to prevent them from extinction. In India,

for example

, many wildlife sanctuaries proved helpful to raise the number of Bengal tigers which was on the verge of extinction.

Secondly

, implementing strict legislation favouring the protection of

such

species

can be helpful in saving their variety and improving their number. To illustrate, laws against cutting trees and clearing land must be enforced in order to protect the environment.

Furthermore

, awareness among humans is required to bring positive changes to the scenario. In the light of all ,facts one can conclude that the most intelligent creation of nature is the most dangerous enemy of

species

that co-exist with him and unless he awakens enlightens, it is indeed impossible to envisage a brighter future of

this

planet.
