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 own opinion.

Few people think that the most important issue regarding the
environment
of their rime is the decline of particular species of
plants
and
animals
whereas others believe that apart from
plants
and
animals
, there are more
problems
worth noting. In my opinion, there are
problems
which are more important than
plants
and
animals
which are often overlooked by us.
Firstly
, the main reason behind
deterioration

the deterioration

plants
and

is the problem in the entire
food
chain. There’s an increase in the number of herbivores like deers who often feed upon
plants
for their
food
and the carnivorous
animals
are decreasing day by day due to hunting. There aren’t enough carnivores like tigers or leopards who could feed upon the herbivores for
food
.
As a result
, herbivores increase drastically in their numbers affecting the number of
plants
and thereby the entire
food
chain.
