Human activity has had a negative impact on plants and animals around the world. Some people think that this cannot be changed, while others believe actions can be taken to bring about a change. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Human activities have caused a detrimental impact on flora and fauna globally. Some think that human exploitation of natural resources cannot be altered. While others believe that we can still bring about change before

irreversible damage can occur to the environment. I would argue that it is our responsibility to conserve the natural resources which we have destroyed and through
this
essay, I would be examining both views. Since the beginning of time, humans have used natural resources for their benefits
such
as food, clothing and shelter. A few people believe that various conservation projects for wildlife and plant
species
are not necessary as despite the
extinction
of many
species
of animals and plants in the past there has been no significant effect on the environment. In a recent survey by United Nations, despite the
extinction
of few
species
in the past, there are very few effects on the environment and in fact, few
species
of plants and animals continue to rise in their numbers over time without any human intervention.
This
reiterates the opinion that a number of

Furthermore
, the area of agricultural land can

decline due to deforestation worldwide leading to global food shortages. In a recent article published by The New York Times, the environmental conservation efforts
such
as Fridays for change have proven to be instrumental in reducing the impact caused by environmental abuse.
As a result
, various endangered
species
can now be conserved and these
species
can help in sustaining agriculture. In conclusion, by implementing conservation projects and creating awareness we can prevent

of plants and animals rather than waiting for nature to heal itself. 330 words – too long time
