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.

Many important
plants
and
animals
species
are dying at an alarming rate. Many consider it is the biggest environmental issue.
On the other hand
, people think pollution and
waste
disposal has more critical impacts on the environment of the globe.
This
essay will elaborate on both views along with my personal perspective.
First
of all, all the living beings have connected for
food
chain and habitats.
Humans
,
plants
and
animals
share the same place to live but
humans
have broken the law of nature and occupied a large portion of the earth for agricultural land and megacities which affected directly
plants
and
animals
. According to European nature, 75% of land and 65% of ocean areas have been significantly altered by
humans
. The major reason behind it is to alter the forest to agricultural lands and megacities. The endangered
species
of
animals
and
plants
is critical news because all living
species
are dependent on each other for
food
, we
humans
eat
plants
and
animals
,
this
extinction could trigger scarcity of
food
. so, overall
this
problem has significance on the survival of
humans
on the earth.
However
, global warming due to human actions is the major reason for other ecological problems and affecting the entire existence of our green planet. Many major issues are connected with it,
such
as, glaciers melting, droughts, Floods , which can
also
lead to the death of certain
species
. Apart from
this
,
waste
management is a critical issue. The volume of
waste
generated by major cities is very difficult to cop especially solid
waste
. It is a very big problem because Poor
waste
management contributes to climate change, air pollution, and directly affects many ecosystems and
species
. In conclusion, all the environmental problems are interconnected. For society, we need
animals
and
plants
for the
food
chain.
Moreover
, pollution is
also
directed connected to flora and fauna as trees help us to convert carbon dioxide to oxygen.
Hence
, ambitious targets along with strict implementation are the need of the hour.
