It is a natural process for animal species to become extinct (e.g. dinosaur, dodo…) There is no reason why people should try to prevent this from happening. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Some people opine that

extinction

is a part of nature and preventing it from happening is futile. I partly disagree with

this

notion because there is a distinction between natural and human-induced

extinction

, and the latter may prove to be catastrophic to both humans and

animals

. On the one hand, it is neither useful nor financially possible to try to save every

species

on planet Earth. The natural environments and habitats have been changing for billions of years. Throughout

this

timeframe, animal

species

have adapted to the changes or evolved into new

species

in order to survive. While one day it may be technologically feasible to preserve all

animals

in artificial environments, it will surely cost a prohibitive amount of tax money for research and implementation.

Furthermore

, the objective of

such

projects is questionable as they only provide insights that only the elite scientists have the ability to grasp, and it does not address what I believe is the main cause of mass

extinction

: human activities.

On the other hand

, I argue that we must be conscious that a wave of human-influenced mass

extinction

can

also

negatively affect our survival and that we have to make efforts to save the important

animals

. Human activities have led to global climate change, deforestation, severe pollution, and overhunting that

consequently

put a plethora of

animals

on the brink of

extinction

, including the keystone

species

.

This

could inflict irreparable damage to our societies in its wake. Take sharks that prey on seals
