In today's world, one fundamental problem is the one in regard to the environment. There is a debate, one group believes that the extinction of especial living organs is the most important matter, while others think there are other issues which are more significant. I agree with the
second

view. There is no doubt that losing some specific animals or plantations can cause serious problems and should be prevented.
In other words
Linking Words
,
this
Linking Words
will lead to an unbalanced life cycle.
For example
Linking Words
, if a certain wild animal becomes extinct, there are no other species to hunt some harmful predators,
such
Linking Words
as mouses,
hence
Linking Words
they will damage the ecosystem.
Moreover
Linking Words
, with the diminishing of some vegetations soil erosion will become significant and
this
Linking Words
can be dangerous for habitats of all creatures.
On the other hand
Linking Words
, there are some environmentalists, and I agree with them, who believe there are other urgent environmental issues.
Firstly
Linking Words
, they say the amount of pollution in nature is increasing and that can endanger all the planet.
Secondly
Linking Words
, cutting trees and deforestation by humans in order to make a civil life and for farming is destroying the environment.
Finally
Linking Words
, the usage of un-recyclable materials is damaging all aspects of nature.
For instance
Linking Words
, making furniture and equipment for a living, not only is destroying natural resources but
also
Linking Words
is producing a lot of wastes that will not recycle. In conclusion,
although
Linking Words
saving endangered animals and plants is an essential matter, in my opinion, there are more crucial environmental concerns.
