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 opinion.

The

issues

of environment, being faced by the world at the present are numerous, where few argue that specific species of

plants

and

animals

are endangered, while some accord priority to other crucial

issues

. I will articulate both views in

this

essay. On the one hand, advocates of threat to fauna and flora believe that it is most significant than any other environmental issue. The dramatic deterioration in ecosystems in recent times have affected certain genres of

plants

and

animals

.

For instance

, a rise in global temperature and flooding leads to the uprooting of rare types of

plants

and higher mortality rates for new as well as grown-up

plants

.

Furthermore

, the world is already witnessing the disappearance of a large number of birds that were in abundance, a couple of decades back.

Lastly

,

animals

especially those living in the wild are

also

being affected due to unfavourable conditions in their habitat.

For example

, in Australia due to recent catastrophic forest fires, many species are believed dead.

On the other hand

, many others opine that there are more dangerous environmental

issues

, apart from

issues

of

plants

and

animals

. These

issues

have led to many health and social drawbacks.

Firstly

, it has inflicted many health

issues

resulting from the rise of temperature that occurs due to global warming and air pollution stemming from rapid and uncontrolled industrialization;

Furthermore

Add a comma

,Furthermore

show examples

deforestation and water pollution are detrimental to existent water sewerage systems.

Secondly

, global warming has resulted in the melting of ice in the North pole, which has increased flooding, and

consequently

many cities are inundated every summer, causing great loss to human life and infrastructure. In conclusion, I believe that, while there are problems for the

plants

and

animals

but the troubles of global warming, air quality, and deforestation pose a bigger threat to the world.
