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 enviromental problem

Extinction of species is the most horrendous crime

humanity

is responsible for, and future generations will hold us responsible for it. Since the dawn of Homo Sapiens, or since when we got the ability to think much better than all the other

animals

, and since no animal could threaten

humanity

,

humans

have started to think of themselves as the owners of the planet.

Moreover

,

consequently

, the human started to think that it owned all flora and fauna too. Since industrialisation,

humanity

has cut down trillions of hectares of forest for industries

such

as paper, furniture, industrial products, and more

such

industries. The rate of deforestation far supersedes the rate of forestation, and

consequently

, the amount of land covered by forests has exponentially decreased over the past 200 years.

This

decrement of the forest area has

also

led to increased greenhouse gases, hiked land rates, overpopulation, loss of quality of life of indigenous people, and many other unlikeable things.

However

, the true torment of

humanity

comes via its treatment of

animals

. Especially the

animals

which hone some unique physical properties which

humans

think has value, like the tusks of elephants and walruses, or the fur of many fur-bearing

animals

like bears, wolves, seals etc. Hunting for the game has led to the extinction of many species by

humans

, like mammoths, dodos, sea-cows, and a lot more. Global warming results from multiple sources, i.e. cutting down trees that convert greenhouse gases to oxygen and the global usage of fuels that emit greenhouse gases after combustion.

However

,

this

is not the whole extent of deterioration caused by the hands of

humans

;

humans

, by cutting trees, have induced global warming, which increases sea level, disrupts climate and wind patterns, and

this

, in turn, causes many endemic species to go extinct.

Also

, due to overpopulation and sewage dumping into oceans, the ocean floor is lined with non-biodegradable plastic, which harms marine life in extensive ways.

This

is how the various environmental problems caused by

humans

affect flora, fauna and, most importantly, our home planet.
