Some people think that resources should be spent on protecting wild animals, while others think those would be better used for the human population. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Although

there are several justifiable reasons for the expenditure of resources to protect wild animals, some people argue that

this

money should be used for the betterment of humankind.

This

essay tends to discuss both perspectives and I will explain why I believe that funds should be spent on the protection of wildlife rather than for the benefits of humans. Species after species are becoming endangered due to our actions.

First

and foremost, safeguarding animals is necessary for maintaining ecological balance. If a certain type of species becomes extinct

then

the whole food web would be disrupted,

consequently

, our lives would

also

be affected.

For instance

, if a secondary consumer is lost

then

the tertiary consumer which feeds on it would ultimately decrease in number due to less or no food.

Secondly

, the flora and fauna of a country

helps

in attracting tourist attention.

Thus

helping the country to develop its tourism industry and raising its economical status. So, if resources are used for protecting wildlife,

such

as by building road signage and National Parks,

then

it would be more beneficial.

On the other hand

, some people hold the view that if

this

money is spent for building railways or improving transportation

then

it would prove to be more advantageous. Undoubtedly, upgrading methods of transport would make commuting easier.

Likewise

, more railways would increase the chances of using public transport rather than using private vehicles.

Hence

reduce our carbon footprints and eventually ease global warming.

Furthermore

, if funds are used for public education

then

impoverished children would get the opportunity to read and write. To conclude, both ways of spending funds are profitable but I strongly believe that saving animals would be more beneficial as it benefits not only the environment but

also

mankind.
