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 views and give your own opinion.

Environmental

issues

have become much more serious and devastating over the

last

centuries. It is said that preserving existing natural

species

is imperative while some argue that there are more important environmental

issues

to tackle. I would support the latter opinion. The extinction of inhabitants on earth is a serious problem as it is thought to be caused by human activities.

For instance

, Tasmanian tigers, which are native to Australia, went extinct mainly due to human encroachment to their habitats followed by hunting.

Also

, expansion of farming land resulted in cutting down huge numbers of trees, leading to the reduction of the areas for plants to grow. A vast majority of humans have been disregarding the consideration of other

species

and keep destroying them and

therefore

, people should be more accountable for the protection of other animals and plants.

However

, climate change

such

as global warming and extreme weather should primarily be dealt with since the vanishing of

species

hugely depends on their environments. Even though the preservation of natural inhabitants seems to be a human's responsibility, deterring

such

environmental

issues

would, in turn, be able to protect natural

species

. Unusual weathers

such

as cyclones, typhoons, and intense thunderstorms could destroy forests where animals dwell, leading to less food for them.

As a result

, there would be nowhere they can live. Global warming can

also

cause serious damage to the earth and alter the natural ecosystem, which

consequently

ends up with devastating effects on living creatures in the world. In summary, dealing with

issues

other than the extinction of animals and plants

such

as climate change would be of primary.
